Lavender Seeds - Vera

Tall purple violet spikes with silvery foliage. A very popular home garden lavender variety that produces a lovely, strong lavender scent. This lavender variety has several uses including both culinary and medicinal properties and makes a great flower to freshen the home.

Transplant (recommended): Sow seeds 1/8" deep in a flat 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Seeds require some light for germination. Transplant to individual pots when the plants are large enough to handle. Transplant to the field in the spring after the last frost. Plant shallowly, so the soil line is just above the top roots of the plant. Space plants 12-18" apart in rows 24-36" apart. In late fall, clip plants back to below the flower stems and mulch heavily. During the second year, cuttings can be taken from August-November, when the stems are semihardened, but before they have been subjected to a hard freeze. Direct seeding is not recommended.
