Growing Tips for Success

For best results, cold-stratify seeds 2-3 weeks before sowing indoors (late winter) or outdoors (early spring/fall). Press seeds lightly into soil. No covering needed, and provide full light. Germination may take 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 18” apart for lush growth. Pro tip: Start extra seeds to account for natural variability!

How to Grow Lavender Seeds Successfully

Lavender seeds can be tricky to germinate, so patience and specific conditions are key.

1. Cold Stratification: Lavender seeds benefit immensely from a "winter" chill to trigger germination. Mix your seeds with a little damp sand, place them in a sealed plastic bag, and leave them in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks before planting.
2. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost. Press them lightly into a high-quality seed starting mix—lavender seeds need light to germinate, so do not bury them deeply.
3. Warmth & Moisture: Keep the soil temperature between 65-70 F. degrees. Using a heat mat and a humidity dome will speed up the process, which can take anywhere from 14 to 30 days.
4. Transition to Sun: Once the seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off and plant them in full sun (at least 6-8 hours daily) in well-draining, slightly sandy soil.
