Planting Instructions:

• Planting Depth: Set the lavender seeds or plants at a depth of 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch in the soil. Ensure proper spacing, allowing for good air circulation.

• Fertilization: Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer sparingly in the spring. Lavender generally doesn't require excessive fertilization.
• Pruning: Trim spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and shape the plant. Prune lightly in the spring to maintain a compact form.
• Germination Rate:
• Lavender seeds typically have a germination rate of 70-80%, though this can vary based on growing conditions. For optimal results, start seeds indoors in a controlled environment or directly sow them in well-prepared outdoor soil.
• Blooming Period:
• Enjoy the beautiful blooms of Hidcote Blue Lavender from June to August, creating a vibrant and fragrant display in your garden.
