Happy plants

5 out of 5 stars Jul 20, 2020
These seeds had a great germination rate. Like all lavenders I've tried from seed, there is a large variable in days until germination. Several sprouted within a couple of weeks and dozens followed within another 4 weeks. I won't have flowers until next year but the plants are happy and healthy looking.

Not one seed germinated

I have planted a lot of seeds from this company and have had success for the most part. But I could not get a single English lavender seed to germinate.

followed packet directions with stratification

5 out of 5 stars Apr 27, 2022
I had a very good germination % following stratification instructions on the inside of the packet. I put them in soil in plastic take-out containers and then placed for several weeks over the winter in the fridge. Took the containers out of the fridge about mid-March (I was late with stratification) and let them spend some time under a grow light. I ended up with 6 or so healthy seedlings. I just potted out the seedlings into well-draining containers in full sun and they're healthy and happy. Just have to be patient with these.

Bummed!

Not one seed germinated. I was looking forward to a bunch of lavender plants and I have none. But I want to add that this one of very few seeds from my order that did not germinate.

Poor Germination

Only one seed out of the entire packet germinated following cold stratification. Will not be purchasing again.

I started my seeds indoors on an east facing windowsill. I have had very good luck with lavender in the past and this year is no different with 100% of my seeds sprouting in under 14 days.
