Sow Right SeedsEnglish Lavender Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Grow Beautiful Indoor or Outdoor Herb Garden - Attract Pollinators - Perennial Purple Blooms (1)

These seeds were not so good. Out of all of them only two sprouted. However, the plant smells really good once it grows, I have yet to get any flowers after two years tho.

Not even single seed germinated, waste of money

Seeds sprouted just fine. I planted seeds back in january and they are growing nicely. Seeds and seedlings have the faintest lavender aroma.Use cold stratification for best results. I have seeds from direct sowing and cold stratifying and they all sprouted WELL.Make sure to use a well draining soil or seed starting soil. Place in direct sunlight or bright grow lights. Temperature should be 70-80°FLavender is finicky to grow. If you dont have the right conditions right now, plant them in the spring or summer depending on your region

It never sprouted!

Growing lavender is a little difficult fromseed, that’s why I returned them. They arrived in a paper pouch, unsealed, and were smashed from another heavy item in the Amazon box.

Want to start by saying, my thumb is so brown it's black. I SUCK at growing plants. No matter how hard I try (and sometimes I don't really try) I kill everything. But I love gardening and plants so I just keep trying.I was intimated when I read that lavender is not necessarily easy to grow and not really a "beginner" plant. Given this and my past, terrible history of murdered plants, I was determined to do this by the book.This is the first time I've ever cold stratified seeds. The old me would say "Eh, can't be bothered" and dump them in some dirt and wonder why they never grew. This time I put these on very wet paper towels in ziplock bags and stored them in the door of my fridge (42°F) for 5 weeks. A couple of them actually sprouted in the fridge.I planted them indoors in a single, 8 inch diameter pot in early December. Now this is where I started deviating...lavender does best in poor, sandy, well-draining soil. I just put them in a pot leftover from a plant that had died. It was a gift so not entirely sure what soil type it was, but not sandy or well-draining. It looked like rich potting soil with a lot of bulky mulch. But I sowed them. And they grew!In total, I got about 27 plants at various times, but only 22 survived to today. After about 2 months, I repotted them into 2 separate pots. This time I did use a low-nutrient soil and mix it with about 1/3 sand. At the bottom of the pots I put about 1.5 inches of small gravel. The repot went fine, they didn't suffer at all and kept growing. In the pic you can see one pot has much bigger plants than the other. These are all from the same original sowing, but they sprouted at different times and some grew bigger than others. I put the biggest ones all in the same pot.I used a grow light from the time I sowed them, but I don't think it worked. I switched to a better quality light about a month in and it clearly made a difference. The pots are by a SE facing window and don't get a ton of natural light. So I keep the lights on about 12 hours a day every day. I water once a week. When I sowed, I kept them covered with plastic wrap for about a month, so they kind of watered themselves with condensation during that time.I don't know what kind of lavender this is so not sure when it's going to bloom but I will try to update pics when they do. They probably also need another repotting because they are 11 each in a 5- and 6-inch pot, which is too small for mature plants. I may also try to move some outside but the deer here are so insane they eat cactus, so lavender would be a treat.Overall, these must be good if I can grow them, but definitely recommend following instructions to a T -- cold stratify, use sandy, low-nutrient, well-draining soil, and make sure they get plenty of light, even if you have to supply it artificially if growing indoors. They grew strong, hardy plants that smell amazing even before blooming.

Product came on time. Plenty of seeds in package. Perfect

I did not have germination with these seeds.
