Lavender Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The fragrant purple herb worth a spot in your garden

Lavender (Lavandula) is a woody Mediterranean perennial prized for its silvery-green foliage and slender spikes of purple-blue flowers, both charged with that famous soothing fragrance. A cornerstone of cottage gardens and herb beds, it thrives on sunshine and neglect, drawing bees and butterflies while filling the air with scent. Whether grown for cutting, drying, or simply for the joy of brushing past it, lavender is a long-lived plant that only gets more beautiful with age.

How to grow lavender from seed

Lavender takes a little patience from seed but is well worth it. Surface-sow the tiny lavender seeds and press them into a fast-draining mix, giving them light and warmth to germinate; a period of cold stratification improves results. Grow on in full sun and lean, well-drained, even gritty soil, spacing plants 12 to 18 inches apart where they will reach 1 to 3 feet tall. Lavender resents wet feet, so sharp drainage is the key to a long-lived plant. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing lavender from seed.

How to use lavender

Lavender is as useful as it is beautiful. Cut the fragrant flower spikes for fresh bouquets or hang them to dry for long-lasting bundles, sachets, and potpourri. Culinary varieties add a floral note to shortbread, honey, and herb blends, and the buds are traditionally brewed into a calming herbal tea. In the garden, lavender makes a fragrant low hedge or path edging and is a magnet for pollinators all summer long.

Lavender and its Mediterranean cousins

If you love lavender, explore its fellow sun-loving, aromatic herbs. Try rosemary for another fragrant, drought-tolerant evergreen, thyme for a low, pollinator-friendly companion, or hyssop for more spikes of blue-violet bloom. Explore the full range in our herb seeds collection.
