Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) seeds require cold stratification?
Lavender seeds possess natural physiological dormancy that requires cold-moist stratification at 2 to 4 degrees Celsius for 21 to 30 days prior to planting to break down internal germination inhibitors. The Seeds In A Cup Lavender Herb Grow Kit includes clear, visual instructions to easily manage this process in your home refrigerator.
What is the optimal temperature for Lavender seed germination?
Once stratification is complete, Lavender seeds germinate best at warm room temperatures between 21 and 24 degrees Celsius (70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit).
How deep should Lavender seeds be planted?
Sow the seeds very shallowly, approximately 1.5875 to 3.175 millimeters (1/16 to 1/8 inch) deep, or press them gently onto the surface of the Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil and cover with a very thin layer of soil.
What USDA Hardiness Zones are suitable for planting Lavender outdoors?
English Lavender is a hardy perennial suitable for USDA Zones 5 through 9. In colder northern zones, it can be grown in containers and moved indoors for the winter.
Can I grow Lavender indoors year-round?
Yes. Lavender can be grown indoors on a bright windowsill.
Why does this kit use Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil instead of compressed coir discs?
Lavender roots are highly sensitive to standing water and can rot quickly in dense, water-retaining coir fiber plugs. Our Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil is formulated with sand and perlite to provide the sharp, rapid drainage this Mediterranean herb requires.
