To grow lavender from seed, you’ll need:– Quality lavender seed– Seed-starting soil mix– Seed trays or small pot– Clear plastic dome or plastic wrap (for humidity)– Grow lights or a sunny windowsill– Labels for seed tray
Fill seed trays or pots with seed-starting mix, sprinkle seeds on the surface, and lightly press them into the soil. Cover with a thin layer of soil and mist with water. Use labels to identify different varieties.
Water seedlings carefully to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Use a spray bottle for gentle watering.
Harvest lavender when the flower buds are just opening for the best fragrance and oil content. Cut stems early in the morning and hang them upside down to dry in a cool, dark place.
