Growing Lavender in Your Garden

Here are a few tips if you want to grow lavender from seed:

• Start indoors: Lavender seeds do best indoors, 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date of the season. If you wish to sow them directly, do so in early spring or when freezing temperatures cease in your region.
• Cold stratify: It's recommended to cold stratify your seeds by refrigerating them for three weeks before planting.
• Plant: Add two seeds per hole or pellet and allow them to germinate on top of moistened soil. Cover your trays and expose them to plenty of light. Ideally, the soil temperature should be around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the seedlings sprout and are twice the size of the trays, you can pot them and eventually transplant them.
