When the seedlings are a few inches high and have a few sets of leaves, it’s time to harden them. Lavender grows very slowly at first and will continue to grow slowly during its first year. Most lavender seeds will germinate in just a couple of weeks, but some can take up to a month if they are lacking in sun or heat. Letting the soil dry slightly between waterings and keeping the seedlings somewhere with good airflow can help mitigate this. Lavender seedlings are particularly vulnerable to fungal infections.

The soil mix should be well-draining to avoid overwatering the seeds. Make sure they’re in a warm location or use a heating mat to keep the seedlings warm. Lavender germinates more quickly when it’s exposed to sunlight, so don’t cover them entirely. Use a light, seed-specific potting mix, and gently cover each seed with a thin layer of soil. Lavender seeds can be sown directly in the garden, but they germinate much more reliably when started indoors in a seed tray.

Lavender Phenomenal does particularly well in areas with more moisture and humidity. (‘Vera’ and ‘Pastor’s Pride’ are among the most cold hardy.) Yet with proper soil preparation, and planting site selection, Lavender can also thrive in moister, more humid climates like the Mid-West, East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states. The key is to make sure you choose a variety with sufficient winter cold hardiness for your region. For large growing Lavender, we recommend French Lavender or hybrid Lavender (Lavandula intermedia) varieties. For the southern US with hot, humid heat, Spanish Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is the best choice. In the Mid-West and Eastern US, sandy soils are a must, and planting on a slope or in a raised bed provides optimum drainage. These perennials are a superb choice for the drought-resistant garden, doing best in the drier parts of the US like the Great Plains, Intermountain West and West Coast (which has a true Mediterranean climate (wet winters and dry summers). Lavender plants require two-to-three growing seasons to reach mature size. The same varieties when grown in cold (zone 5-6) winter climates tend to be more compact. Lavender plants will be taller and wider in mild winter, hot summer climates. Lavender are sun-loving plants that thrive in hot weather and grow best in arid climates.
