Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful lavender plant care begins with proper planting and attentive cultivation. For our Italian Lavender Seeds, full sun exposure is crucial; ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Light watering is preferred, as lavender thrives in well-drained soil and is susceptible to root rot in overly wet conditions. A sandy or gravelly loam with a slightly alkaline pH is ideal. Lavender can be grown both indoors and outdoors, adapting to various climates. For outdoor planting, consider your USDA hardiness zone. Fertilize sparingly, if at all, as lavender prefers leaner soil. Common problems include fungal diseases from overwatering or lack of air circulation. Pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and promotes bushier growth. Starting seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost can give them a head start.
