Growing Guide

When to Grow

Lavender is slow from seed, so start it indoors in late winter, 8-10 weeks before your last frost. Two routes work. The direct one: surface sow and gently press the seed into moist mix without covering it, since light aids germination, hold it at 65-75°F under a humidity dome or plastic cover, and allow 14-21 days for sprouting. The other: pre-chill by sprinkling seed on a moist paper towel and holding it in the refrigerator for 30-40 days, potting each seed up as it sprouts. Either way, grow the young plants on indoors and transplant outdoors after all chance of frost has passed, spacing them 12 inches apart in full sun in the sharply drained soil lavender insists on.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 14-28 days.
  • Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, transplant out after all chance of frost has passed.
  • Surface sow seeds and gently press into soil as light aids germination.
  • A humidity dome or plastic cover will aid germination. Ideal germination temperature is 65-75 F.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Well-drained soil is essential for lavender; standing in saturated soil in winter can kill plants.
  • Space plants 12-18 inches apart.
  • Plants average 1-3.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Typically a pest- and disease-free plant, plants can suffer from root rot due to poor drainage and warm, humid summer conditions.
  • Provide very well drained, even gravelly, soil and do not overcrowd plants.
  • Provide good air circulation.

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow seedheads to dry on plants and hand pick or cut stems and shake seeds free into a bucket or bag.
  • Separate seeds from chaff by carefully winnowing and store in a cool, dry place.
