Sowing:Refrigerate the Lavender seeds for a month before planting.Plant them just below the surface in soil that drains well, and keep them at a temperature of 60-64 degrees F. or 16-18 degrees C. Keep the soil moist with a spray bottle to prevent over watering, and shield them from the hottest sun. Germination may take up to a month, and plants will reach a suitable size for transplanting in about 6 months. Transplanting can take place either in late spring or fall.Transplant them to bigger pots as carefully as possible to avoid disturbing the roots. Lavender plants prefer full sun and soil that drains well,even rocky or sandy soil. Plant them 24-36 inches apart in rows 60-36 inches apart to allow enough space for growth.With proper handling, lavender seeds can grow in containers. Growing:The proper amount of moisture is crucial to young lavender plants.Too much water is deadly, but until they are established they need soil that is fairly moist. Mature plants can tolerate drought conditions, but must not become dehydrated. Mulching the plants with gravel or small shells can be helpful to absorb heat and control weeds.In the plant’s first year of growth, pruning the flowers that appear will help it to grow healthy roots and foliage. Mature plants also benefit from yearly, careful pruning. Harvesting:The best time to harvest lavender is in the morning after the dew has dried. For drying, harvest stalks with just a few buds open, at this stage the fragrant oils have reached their peak. For fresh use, harvest stalks with more of the buds open. Dry bundles of lavender upside down in a cool, dark place for a week or more. To save the buds,strip them from the stalks.
