Lavender - Fern Leaf Seeds
Start spanish eyes lavender seeds indoors 6-8 weeks prior to your last frost date.
Cold stratification will improve germination. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container. Leave in the fridge for ~2 weeks before seeding.
Press seeds into soil and very lightly cover. Keep moist, but not wet until germination in ~14-21 days (may be longer with cooler temperatures).
Transplant after your last frost date into a sunny location, with plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart.
Lavandula sp.
