Sounds like a deal! I hope those little plugs do well for you. I'd suggest potting them on for a while, maybe planting out once their roots have filled a 4 inch pot... I'm sure the nursery will be able to give you some good advice about them.

Lots of lavender varieties won't come true from seeds, I believe, and are often propagated from cuttings.... I think several people have posted about having trouble starting lavender seeds, although I'm sure there are folks who have done it successfully. At that price, I'd go for the little plants!

To help you envision the future of your little plants, here's a photo of the lavender "hedge" along my driveway. (L. grosso, aka "Fat Spike") It was even fuller this year!
