Seed Needs Lavender Seeds for Planting a Variety of Lavandula Plants - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated Herb Seed to Plant an Outdoor Home Grown Lavender Garden - Medicinal/Culinary (4 Packs)

This is my first year as a lavender owner, but I’ve been addicted ever since. I own mature lavender plants from Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. I loved them so much that I wanted to attempt growing from seed. I researched tips and tricks and as a beginner it was a tad complicated. But please DO NOT give up on these seeds! Luckily these are the only lavender seeds I’ve ever purchased and I will continue to buy more! First I live in hot and humid Houston. That already poses many challenges! I purchased these in July 2019. I tried sowing these every few weeks as they were not germinating. Come to find at the beginning it was my fault. First off, do not bury these seeds! The first couple of tries I sowed them half an inch to an inch. They never germinated. They were too deep and I also overwatered due to Houston’s high temp in summer. I left them outdoors and nothing. Along with the high heat I used regular potting or seed starting soil....also a mistake! They don’t like being compacted and the moisture that stays in that soil can rot the seeds. I’ve been continuously successful with potting soil and vermiculite or cactus soil mix and vermiculite. The one main tip is patience! I was extremely impatient with the initial tries. I forgot about a couple of pots I sowed a few weeks before...and sure enough they started to germinate. Eventually as Fall season started peaking in the seedlings have been so active! I started seedlings every week and depending on the weather, location, and water I had some seedlings even sprout in 7 days or less! They are all different and finicky so attempt a lot of trial and error. There were some that germinated in 3 weeks! Depending on the weather I have had some sprout in 6-8 weeks, be patient! The seeds they provide in these packets are more than enough to keep trying! Some grow faster than the others and some are duds. I always put more seeds than required b/c they don’t all germinate. Take a chance on these seed packets.

The packaging is simple and clean. As soon as you open the package, the smell is beautiful and full. Everything in the package was nicely labeled and sealed. The main package cover conceals the smell of the lavender. Lavender seems harder to germinate, and there are a lot of different ways to sow the seeds/ germinate. I had a very successful germination without cold stratification, but it was very slow. I did use a couple of germination methods and I am still waiting on the outcome. I will definitely purchase again and recommend to all of my fellow gardeners/planters.

All English lavander with 1 munstead pack. Low germination even after freeze stratification. Most smells and looks like blooms not seeds.

I received 4 packs of seeds like you would get from a box store. I have planted 2 kinds and they haven’t come up yet. Very professional and quick shipping.

I grow seeds in hydroponics methods, and was finding myself frustrated because none of the seeds were germinating / sprouting. After doing more research I discovered that lavender seeds will start sprouting in cold weather naturally, and they really grow when the weather gets warm. So you need to basically refridgerate the lavender seeds for 30-40 days before putting in direct sunlight. Suburban Homestead on YouTube has a video called "Best Secret to Germinate Lavender Seeds with Success" that I recommend.Will post an update in a few months.

Though I planted a lot of the seeds in a single pot only one or two grew.

Well packaged not over packaged neither all variety germinated.

After testing this out, It has been hard to grow, but the quality is great!
