Dhara Seeds, a big, trusted name in the USA seed market with a vast, high-quality selection, is pleased to offer English Lavender Seeds. These seeds yield Lavandula angustifolia, a perennial herb celebrated for its aromatic lavender blooms and resilience in various garden settings.
Lavandula angustifolia is renowned for its silvery-green foliage and vibrant lavender flowers that exude a soothing fragrance. This perennial herb serves multiple purposes: it enhances garden aesthetics, attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and provides blooms ideal for drying and use in sachets, potpourri, and culinary applications.
English Lavender thrives in full sun and requires well-draining, slightly alkaline soil with a pH between 6.and 7.. It is well-suited for USDA zones through 9, demonstrating adaptability to various climates.
To cultivate English Lavender from seed, start indoors 8 to weeks before the last expected frost. Sow the seeds on the surface of a sterile starter mix, pressing them gently into the soil without covering, as they require light for germination. Maintain a consistent temperature between 72°F and 7°F, and expect germination within 1 to 21 days.
During the germination period, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, English Lavender exhibits notable drought tolerance, necessitating only occasional watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is well-drained and allow it to dry out between waterings.
