Thank you.

While mature nursery grown plants of lavandula do well in the summers of zone 4. They should be lifted,potted and stored overwinter in a cool basement or root cellar.
Alternatively cuttings may be taken in July, rooted in a 50/50 peat and perlite mix. Then when rooted potted up and grown on a coolish well lit window ledge over the winter.
Better yet kept under a light unit in a room which doesn't get warmer than 10 by day and down around 3/5 by night.
