🌿 How to Grow English Lavender

Botanical Name: Lavandula angustifolia
Plant Type: Perennial herb
Days to Germination: 14–28 days (slow but worth the wait!)
Days to Maturity: First blooms typically appear in the second year
Sunlight: Full sun
Soil: Light, well-drained, slightly alkaline soil
Seed Depth: Lightly press into soil surface (needs light to germinate)
Spacing: 12–18 inches apart

Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before last frost for best results. Lavender is slow to germinate, so be patient and keep soil warm and evenly moist (but never soggy). Transplant outdoors once seedlings are sturdy and weather is warm.

🛠️ Growing Tips

• Use a seedling heat mat to speed up germination.

• Avoid rich or clay-heavy soil—lavender prefers sandy, well-drained beds.

• Prune lightly in spring to keep plants compact and encourage flowering.

• Harvest flower spikes just before full bloom for best fragrance and oil content.

• Excellent for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and containers.
