Growing Guide:

  1. Sowing: Start lavender seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a seed-starting mix and cover lightly with soil. Keep them moist and warm (70°F) until germination, which may take 14-28 days.

  2. Transplanting: Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors into a sunny location with well-drained soil.

  3. Sunlight: Lavender thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

  4. Watering: Water young plants regularly until established, then water sparingly. Lavender is drought-tolerant once mature and prefers drier conditions.

  5. Soil: Plant in sandy, well-drained soil with a slightly alkaline pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

  6. Pruning: Trim back lavender after blooming to encourage bushier growth and maintain the plant’s shape. Removing spent blooms can also encourage a second round of flowering.

  7. Fertilizing: Lavender doesn’t require much fertilization. If necessary, a light application of balanced fertilizer in the spring can promote growth.
