I love BI seeds and products.
- AJVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/6/25Volunteer Plants Galore!
I started these from seed in 2024 and transplanted in late spring. I got a little lazy during fall & didn't deadhead the bloom stocks. This spring I found that I had 15+ volunteer plants come up. Will be moving those around the garden as needed/giving to friends but this packet was definitely worth it as I am looking to build a lavender hedge.

Keep on growing 🌻️

I love lavender and loved it as a child. It pairs well with my fruit trees, roses, etc. The bees love it. We gift a lot of seeds.

Lavender is so loved by bees. It pairs well with fruit trees I have noticed. I think it benefits pollination. Thank you so much for sending these wonderful seeds.
