Lavender (English) Seeds
Lavender, English (Lavandula angustifolia vera)
Description:
Lavender is a popular perennial herb known for its fragrant flowers and aromatic foliage. It is native to southern Europe and widely cultivated throughout the world for its ornamental value, culinary & medicinal uses, and its volatile oil production. English Lavender is a compact and bushy plant that typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90cm). It features narrow, linear leaves that are grey-green or silvery in colour. The leaves are highly aromatic, exuding a pleasant scent when rubbed or crushed. English Lavender produces slender spikes of fragrant flowers with tiny lavender-blue or purple petals. The flowers are held above the foliage, creating an eye-catching display.
Growing Conditions:
Climate: cool-temperate climates; prefers mild summers and cool winters although, can tolerate harsher weather relatively well once established.
Position: full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day; adequate sunlight promotes compact growth, enhances the fragrance of the leaves and flowers, encouraging abundant blooming.
Soil: well-draining, sandy or loamy soil; does not tolerate wet or waterlogged conditions; ideal soil pH range is slightly acidic to neutral (around 6.0 to 7.5).
Water: low to moderate water needs; water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings; drought-tolerant once established.
Spacing: space the plants approximately 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120cm) apart to allow them room to spread. They will grow into each other when spaced closer, which may obstruct potential growth but will also create a dwarf hedge.
Propagation: sow the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date or directly into the garden bed in early spring; lightly cover the seeds with soil (light-dependent germination, usually within 14 to 21 days); alternatively, take semi-ripe cuttings from the current season's growth and root them in well-draining soil.
Harvest: harvest the flowers when they are fully open and at their peak freshness, typically just before they reach full bloom when the colour is most vibrant. Harvesting in the morning when the flowers are dry of dew is ideal.
