I have Lavender seedlings. Now what?

Novice here.

I grew lavender from seed and then transplanted them to bigger pots but am now wondering how on earth I turn those individual seedlings into a lovely lavender bush.

Do I just repot into a larger container at some point? Can I then join all the individual seedlings or will they all form their own bush madly optimistic ?

They like quite dry gravelly soil and direct sunshine. If you have a spot like that then plant them out now.

Each seedling will form a whole bush! Plant each of them into their own pot.

When planting out do it in a sunny dry well drained spot which is not too much of a frost pocket in the winter. Waterlogged clay in the shade will not be conducive to lavender.

Thank you, all! I'm really excited now.

funnyperson that describes exactly my garden (and I'm in Scotland, so not that toasty either), so hopefully it will thrive in a pot with plenty of tlc.
