Lavender In A Pot

How do I protect my lavender? I just planted it from seed late summer and it grew pretty big but I don't think it was in long enough to seed yet... I don't want to bring it in the house (I kill house plants sigh) so what can I do to protect it outside?

Thanks.

Anna

My lavendar is a perennial so I do nothing here in Missouri. Only twice in 30 years has it ever frozen and then not all of it died.

I would protect it with a covering of leaves and cardboard angled to help keep the weight of snow off of the plant. That is what I did with my strawberry plants last winter and they have tripled.

Thanks jokir and Roberta

So something like maybe a tee pee of cardboard would work? And Roberta I was going to create a seperate thread on the strawberry plant as that is a issue I wanted to address so you answered a second question for me as well. So glad I ask before it was too late.
