Experienced gardeners, so as not to overpay for bushes, grow lavender directly from seed, because it is easier than it seems. Lavender decorates and fills the area with a pleasant aroma. Therefore, recently this plant has enjoyed some popularity among summer residents.

Subtleties of sowing lavender

To begin with, take two cotton pads. They are irrigated with water from a spray bottle, and then lavender seeds are sprinkled on them.

The cotton pads are connected and placed in a small jar, which is tightly closed and placed in the refrigerator for a month.

Stratification carried out in January-February at a temperature not higher than +4 °C. The process takes from 30 to 40-50 days.

After 1-1.5 months, the seeds are scattered on the soil in a pot. The pot is covered with glass or a bag. Seedlings should appear in a few weeks.

Lavender is planted in open ground in June. The plant likes sunny, warm, wind-protected areas with dry and well-drained soil.
