How to Grow:
Sow seeds 3mm deep and 2.5cm apart directly outdoors in well-drained, sunny soil in late May or late August/early September (zone 5 and up). Thin out to 30cm apart once established. Seeds can also be started indoors in a soilless mix 10 weeks before the last frost. Store at 21°C for germination in 14-30 days. After germination, reduce the temperature slightly, harden off the seedlings and transplant outdoors after the risk of frost in spring.
A perfect choice for gardeners looking for a hardy, flowering lavender, ideal for brightening up the garden while attracting pollinators!
