Lavendula stoechas
FRENCH LAVENDER 'CASTILLIANO VIOLET'
SKU: 1427-10
Description
This perennial lavender is a clumping variety that will bloom during it's first year. Grows up to 30cm tall (12"), with purple flowers. It's a great plant for honey bees and can be grown well in planters. It prefers full sun conditions to thrive best with a drier/well drained soil type.
Location: Sun
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 6-10
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-90 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
