Sow Indoors

Fill a tray with high quality compost and sow seeds evenly over the surface.. Cover with a layer of fine compost 1 cm thick and water lightly. Place in a warm light location and do not allow the compost to dry out.

Germination can take 14-21 days.

When the plants are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots. When the risk of frost has passed, harden plants off by placing them outdoors during the day and bringing them back indoors at night. Repeat this for 7 days. The plants can then be transplanted outdoors.

Lavender plants have a bushy habit and should be spaced 60 cm apart to allow for growth.

Growing height: 60cm.
