Lavender Herbs Seeds

Lavender is a fragrant herb known for its beautiful purple flowers and calming aroma. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance to any garden, lavender also offers numerous benefits, including its use in aromatherapy and culinary applications.

Growing Lavender:

• Climate Requirements: Lavender thrives in a warm, sunny climate with well-drained soil. While it prefers cooler temperatures, it can adapt to the moderate heat of many Indian regions. Ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil Preparation: Lavender requires well-drained soil. Enrich the soil with compost or sand to improve drainage and prevent root rot.
• Sowing Seeds: Sow lavender seeds directly into the soil. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep them moist until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks.
• Watering: Lavender is drought-tolerant once established but needs regular watering during the initial growth phase. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root diseases.
• Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for their mature size and ensure good air circulation.
• Pruning: Regularly trim lavender plants to promote bushier growth and to remove any dead or diseased stems. Prune after the blooming season to maintain shape.
• Pest Control: Lavender is relatively pest-resistant but keep an eye out for pests like aphids and spider mites. Use organic pest control methods if necessary.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully grow and enjoy the aromatic beauty of lavender in your garden.
