Growing Gray Leaved French Lavender
Indoor Sowing: Cold Stratification and then sow in Late Winter.
Direct Sowing: Late Autumn.
- It can take one to three months for lavender seeds to germinate, so start early and be patient.
- For indoor sowing, first cold stratify the seeds for 30 days and then sow seeds in Late Winter.
- For direct sowing, sow the seeds in Late Autumn and germination will start taking place the following Spring.
- Use shallow seed trays and just barely cover the seeds with soil.
- Use a light soil or a vermiculite blend.
- Keep the seeds moist but not overly wet.
- A sunny spot is a great location to keep the soil from getting too wet and to add warmth.
- Your lavender seedlings will be ready to transplant once they have several leaves per plant.
- Your first year of growth will not be impressive, but by year two, expect to have large, blooming lavender.
- Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape.
- Plant 30cm apart for a hedge or border.
