Lavender (Lavandula vera)
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Known for its soothing fragrance and lovely purple flowers, Lavender is a hardy perennial herb that thrives in sunny gardens and containers. Its blooms are perfect for drying, crafting, culinary use, and attracting pollinators.
Planting Instructions:
Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in a seed-starting mix. Keep soil lightly moist and provide warmth (65-70°F).
Transplant Outdoors: After the last frost, transplant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in a sunny, well-drained spot. Lavender prefers sandy or rocky soils with low fertility.
Direct Sowing: In warmer climates, sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring.
Growing Tips:
Light Requirements: Full sun.
Watering: Water young plants to establish roots, but allow soil to dry between waterings as lavender is drought-tolerant once mature.
Fertilizing: Lavender doesn’t need much fertilizing; a light application of compost in spring will support growth.
Pruning: Trim back plants in early spring and after flowering to encourage bushy growth and more blooms.
Harvesting: Harvest flower spikes when blooms just start to open for the best fragrance. Cut stems just above the leaves, leaving some stems behind to promote regrowth.
Plant Facts:
Days to Germination: 14-28 days
Days to Maturity: 90-200 days (matures slowly but blooms yearly once established)
Height: 12-24 inches
Spacing: 12-18 inches
With patience and care, Lavender will reward you with years of fragrant flowers and lush foliage—ideal for calming teas, homemade sachets, or a peaceful garden oasis.
