Like many other herbs and wildflowers, lavender seeds experience a significant increase in germination if sown in the fall to lie dormant through winter or stored in a freezer for about 2-3 weeks prior to spring sowing. This process of cold-stratification simulates the seeds’ natural habitat and conditions, helping to ensure thorough germination as if the plant had naturally reseeded itself.

Because seeds are so small and difficult to handle, try your best to plant about 3-4 seeds per individual cell or start, but don’t worry too much since lavender naturally has a reduced germination rate, any extra seeds are going to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Munstead Lavender Herb Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou remember Grandma's marigolds?

Like many other herbs and wildflowers, lavender seeds experience a significant increase in germination if sown in the fall to lie dormant through winter or stored in a freezer for about 2-3 weeks prior to spring sowing. This process of cold-stratification simulates the seeds’ natural habitat and conditions, helping to ensure thorough germination as if the plant had naturally reseeded itself. Lavender seeds are slow to germinate and should be cold-stratified as early as 10-12 weeks prior to outdoor transplanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a 2-3 week cold-stratification, lavender seeds are best started indoors using unamended loose potting soil and a 6500k T5 LED grow light, allowing full lighting for thorough germination. Because seeds are so small and difficult to handle, try your best to plant about 3-4 seeds per individual cell or start, but don’t worry too much since lavender naturally has a reduced germination rate, any extra seeds are going to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Munstead Lavender Herb Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou remember Grandma's marigolds?

Once established, lavender is one of the most low-maintenance and tolerant herbs in the garden, widely known to thrive from neglect, poor soils, and full sun. Lavender is native to the dry, temperate, and rocky slopes of the Mediterranean and still prefers the same growing conditions from which it evolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to its Mediterranean relatives rosemary, sage, and thyme, lavender also matures into a woody overwintering perennial known to live for a minimum of 5 years, even up to 20, depending on variety and pruning schedule. Minimal watering, full sun, and well-draining soil is just about all that’s needed to guarantee years worth of garden fresh lavender.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
