Lavender 'Hidcote' blue

150 seeds

1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into a well-drained seed-starting mix, as they need light to germinate.

2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and at 65–70°F. Germination typically takes 14–28 days.

3. Light: Provide full sun for optimal growth and flowering.

4. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Lavender prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil.

5. Transplanting: After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 12–18 inches apart.

Lavender 'Hidcote' is perfect for adding color and fragrance to gardens, and is also great for drying and making sachets or essential oils. It thrives in well-drained, sunny locations and is relatively low-maintenance once established.
