With Living Seeds’ Organic Lavender 4.1g seeds, you can bring a touch of the Mediterranean straight to your balcony, patio or garden. The pretty blue-violet flowers of this perennial magically attract bees and butterflies, creating a vibrant, fragrant paradise. Sow the seeds from March to May in small pots and maintain a germination temperature of between 15 and 20 °C. After the last frosts, you can transplant the sturdy young plants to a sunny, well-drained spot. Lavender loves warmth and dry conditions – you should avoid waterlogging. Harvesting the aromatic flowers begins in July. Use them fresh or dried as a fragrant decoration, for relaxing teas, in sachets to repel moths, or as an ingredient in the kitchen – for example, in lavender sugar or herbes de Provence. Lavender is also a versatile natural medicinal plant, for example in soothing baths or homemade cosmetics. Growing it in pots is straightforward, so even in a small space you don’t have to miss out on this low-maintenance and long-lived plant. With these seeds, you’re choosing organic quality and actively supporting biodiversity in your local area.
