WHEN TO
PLANT LAVENDER SEEDS
Prepare
the seeds for sowing three months before the last spring frost.
WHERE TO
PLANT LAVENDER SEEDS
Lavender
should be located in areas of full sun with adequate drainage and spaced far
enough apart to ensure good air circulation. This will help reduce the chance
of developing root rot.
HOW TO
PLANT LAVENDER SEEDS
Remove
the lavender seeds from the refrigerator after the cold stratification period.
Allow them to reach room temperature while preparing a sowing container for
them.
Fill
a 2” deep nursery tray with a mixture of equal parts washed medium-grit sand
and seed-starting compost. Mist this sand mixture until it is saturated, then
let the excess water drain off.
Create
shallow, 1/8” deep furrows across the surface of the sand mixture. Drop the
lavender seeds into the furrows, aiming for one seed every inch. Sprinkle a
very thin layer of sand over the lavender seeds so they are barely covered but
still exposed to the light. Lavender seeds need light to germinate, so be sure
not to bury them. Mist the sand heavily to settle it around the seeds.
Place
your tray or pots where they will receive 8-10 hours of sun exposure daily. Use
a cold frame outdoors or a sunny window indoors. Soil should remain 75-80
degrees Fahrenheit during the day and as low as 55F at night. Use a sheet of
plastic to hold in the warmth and moisture, ensuring that the plastic never
touches the soil or seedlings. Leave one side open to allow some moisture to
escape. Whenever the sand mixture feels dry on the surface, mist with a water
bottle so as not to disturb the seeds.
One
week after germination transplant your lavender seedlings into individual 4”
pots filled with the sandy potting mix. If you started in a large tray, thin
your seedlings to one every 2-3 inches.
Grow
your newly transplanted seedlings in partial sun for one to two months.
HOW TO
HARVEST LAVENDER
The
best time to cut and harvest the flowers of lavender is the second flowering
season. Start off on a dry, sunny day preferably between June to September.
Pruning should be ideally done just before the growing season, which is early
spring.
Store Policies
All seeds will come in a resalable plastic zip lock bag and placed
in a bubble envelope so the seeds are not damaged by shipping machines. All
seed packets contain no fillers or other weeds or seeds mixed in. Most have
been harvested by hand & all test at a high germination rate.
Seed Information
We guarantee that all seed orders will contain the quantity
ordered. Unlike many sellers who sell seeds by weight, all seed our counts are
almost always correct, as the seeds are packaged and counted by hand. Seed
packages are all double checked to insure accuracy. We do our best and will
often add extra seeds.
We are a seller that caters to experienced gardeners. (germination
and plant care information is readily available online. Most of our listings
include germination instructions, so we do not ship growing instructions.
All My Seeds Are Sold Fresh So You Can Plant them Anytime within 2
years from Purchase
***Note: It is normal for
tropical seed germination to be sporadic from as little as 30 days to 6 months
or more- so patience is required. Buyers should do their own research for plant
uses if needed.
BE PREPARED – Some Seed can be
somewhat difficult to germinate – much patience and time may be required –
please don’t be wondering why the seeds have not germinated after short periods
of time. This is normal. Several months will be needed for some seed.
Some seeds require some experience in growing. We provide
germination guidance and recommend that you do some research before ordering if
you feel unsure. Growing plants from seed is supposed to be fun. Sometimes it
is successful and sometimes not- this is the way it is with gardening. Because
we are not there to plant them, we cannot be responsible for germination
failure due to improper planting or climate conditions. We will always send you
viable seeds
Seed is a live product which depends on many important grower
skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, watering, light
intensity, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides,
soil conditions, and reasonable weather during the growing period. These
factors are totally out of the sellers control, and germination and growing
results are the buyer’s responsibility and risk.
