Produces beautiful purple fragrant flowers with a variety of uses and attracts birds, butterflies, bees, and the gazes of your neighbors While it isnt absolutely necessary if youre okay with a lower germination rate, lavender seeds protect themselves from germinating too early by requiring a period of cold weather before they will germinate. This is responsible for lavenders difficulty in growing from seed. This can be overcome by artificially simulating winter conditions to trick the seeds into germinating. To aid germination refrigerate for 42 days (6 weeks) then plant just below soil surface in a warm spot (70 degrees is ideal) with well drained soil and full sun. Seeds are relatively easy to start if done indoors where environment can be controlled. Keep soil temperature around 70 degrees and cover pot with plastic wrap to retain moisture and keep soil lightly moist until germination. If soil dries before germination it is more likely to fail.
