Grow a sea of Vera Lavender plants, from freshly harvested Lavandula angustifolia herb seeds. Vera Lavender is thought to be the "True English Lavender" and is sought after for its fragrance and medicinal values. Lavandula angustifolia has been used for its high level of fragrance for centuries. It can be found in all sorts of perfumes and potpourris and is also used in poultices, to relieve soreness and inflammation as well. The plants themselves reach a mature height of roughly 30 inches tall, displaying clusters of beautiful, purple colored flowers. These beauties will flower through the mid summer months, attracting all sorts of beneficial insects to the garden, such as butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees and hummingbirds. This makes Vera Lavender a perfect choice for insectaries and butterfly gardens.
Categorized as a perennial flowering herb, Vera Lavender will establish a deep root system in its initial year of growth. The plants will wilt with the cold temperatures of the Winter season, only to return the following Spring, to bloom and continue its life cycle. The plants are popularly used in many flower gardens and can be placed along fences & driveways, along walkways & pathways and can even be sown by the masses in a naturalized setting.

SOWING THE SEED
Lavender seeds are best started indoors, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last killing frost. Start in peat pots, sowing 3 to 5 seeds per pot, at a shallow depth of 1/16” under topsoil. The seeds will require a bit of direct light to properly germinate, so try not to bury them deeper than the recommended depth. Transplant small pots into larger containers if necessary, or transplant directly into the garden, when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.
GROWING CONDITIONS
Lavender herbs will require an area of full sunlight for the majority of the day. Temperatures of at least 70F are recommended. A light soil that contains a small amount of gravel will best suit your Lavender plants, as they will need a well draining medium. They are fond of slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils, with a pH of 6.5 to 8.0. Water the seeds daily with a spray bottle or mist setting, until germination has successfully occurred.
GERMINATION & GROWTH
Lavender seeds will typically germinate within 7 to 21 days after sowing. This strain will produce 30 inch plants, forming a compact, bush like growth habit. The plants can be spaced about 12 to 18 inches apart from one another. Harvest the purple flowers for use as a garnish, and use the oils for all sorts of flavoring and perfumes.
