Do lavender plants put down long roots?

I want to plant three small lavender bushes directly next to my house, as there is a small soil border adjacent to the building. I am a bit worried lavender might grow huge roots and I won't be able to dig them out and move them if I choose to. I intend to prune them to keep them small. Will this deter the plant from putting down long roots? If so can anyone recommend a nice little shrub that won't grow too big? Thanks,

The roots don't grow huge so wont affect your home, lavender will spread like wild fire unless kept cut back, you will be able to dig them out and move them if you want the advantage of lavender next to your home is that it is supposed to stop flies from coming into your home,(though this theory isn't proved) also when you have your windows open the smell will be lovely.
Reply:If you keep them cut like a hedge then you can keep them as tall as you want.





The people who make the lavender oil cut theirs so that the plants only grow about 9 ins tall
Reply:there are some lavender bushes at the house I rent. They are trimmed to stay small and the roots are not that long. So I think you should be fine.
