Description
Extremely dry resistant.
Lavender or english lavender is native of west mediterranean and commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant around the world.
Strongly aromatic busy which can grow up to 2 meters of height, enough resistant to dry, very tolerant at low temperatures, tolerated only acid, but their cultivation is favored in alkaline soils – neutral and that provides good drainage; do not support ground grounding.
His flowers agem as a natural aromatizador of environments, form beautiful masses in gardens, develop well in the plants of vase and garden and promote an infinity of landscape, medicinal, industrial and culinary uses.
Rustic, appreciate your plant in the full sun or 4 – 6 hours of sun direct, your only requirement is as for draining the soil for your perfect development.
Germination Guide
🌍 Western Mediterranean (southern France, northeastern Spain, northwestern Italy)
Moderate
Lavandula angustifolia subsp. angustifolia, commonly known as English Lavender or True Lavender, is an aromatic evergreen subshrub native to the western Mediterranean mountains. The species requires cold stratification to break dormancy and exhibit optimal germination rates, typically sprouting within 14-60 days when provided with adequate light and consistent moisture. This is the most commercially important lavender subspecies, valued for its fine-quality essential oil and exceptional fragrance.

Additional notes
Mix seeds with moist vermiculite or peat moss in a sealed plastic bag and refrigerate at 1-5°C (35-41°F) for 4-6 weeks (28-42 days). Check weekly and ensure medium stays damp but not waterlogged. After stratification, allow seeds to reach room temperature before sowing.
Substrate & Container
Recommended substrate
Light, porous, well-draining seed starting mix or sterile sphagnum moss; avoid fertilizer-rich substrates
Recommended container
Seed trays or small pots with excellent drainage; use humidity dome or clear plastic cover to maintain consistent moisture
Growing Tips
Seeds require light to germinate—do not bury them. Press lightly onto soil surface and maintain 12-16 hours of daily grow light exposure. Maintain consistent soil moisture (like a wrung-out sponge) but never waterlogged to prevent fungal damping-off. Use a heating pad to maintain soil temperature at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Open humidity dome briefly daily for air exchange. Once seedlings emerge (2-3 true leaves), reduce humidity by removing or propping open dome. Transplant into larger containers approximately 1 month after germination. Do not fertilize until plants are established in garden soil. Provide excellent drainage in final location with neutral to slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.5-7.5). Lavender dislikes wet feet; overwatering is the primary cause of failure. Gradually acclimate seedlings to direct sunlight before transplanting outdoors in early spring.
