Lavender Seeds Planting Instructions
Lavender (Lavandula) is a fragrant herb known for its beautiful purple flowers and aromatic leaves. Here’s how to plant and grow lavender from seeds: Seed Preparation: Stratification: Lavender seeds benefit from cold stratification. Place seeds in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks before planting.
Soil Preparation: Soil Type: Use a well-draining soil mix with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. A mix of potting soil and sand or perlite works well.
Container: Start seeds in seed trays or small pots with drainage holes if starting indoors.
Sowing Seeds: Timing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. If planting directly outdoors, wait until the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed.
Depth and Spacing: Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Space seeds about 1 inch apart if sowing in trays.
Watering: Initial Watering: Water gently after sowing to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Using a spray bottle can help avoid disturbing the seeds.
Regular Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period. Avoid letting the soil dry out.
Light: Indoors: Place seed trays in a bright location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Lavender seeds need light to germinate.
Outdoors: If sowing directly, choose a sunny location with full sun.
Temperature: Germination Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination. Seeds typically germinate in 2-4 weeks.
Transplanting: Indoors: Once seedlings are 2-4 inches tall and have a few sets of true leaves, transplant them to larger pots if needed.
Outdoors: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they are about 4-6 inches tall. Space plants 12-18 inches apart.
