The listing, ENGLISH LAVENDER 500 SEEDS has ended.
English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolias) thrives in
full sun, well drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5.
Climates suitable for lavender range from zones 5 to
10 on the USDA hardiness scale. It does not perform
well in wet or water-logged soils. Because seed
germination is slow, it is commonly propagated from
cuttings taken in the summer from side shoots from the
mother plant. To start new plants, place cuttings in
moist sterile sandy soil, 3 to 4 inches apart in a cold
frame with some lath protection. When cuttings are a
year old, plant 18 to 24 inches apart into a dry, light,
gravelly soil after the last frost has passed in spring.
Harvest flowers when they are bright and vivid.
