LAVENDER 'HIDCOTE BLUE'
Lavendula augustifolia
SKU: 1587-10
Description
This is probably the finest form of this lovely lavender! Forms compact bushes of fragrant grey-green leaves, on dense spikes of strongly perfumed blue flowers!
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Location: Sun
Height: 30-45 cm
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally within 60 days after the warming period, though they could take a few months. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and early May, is in a cold frame or cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
