Thompson & Morgan Lavender Mini Blue Seeds - Dwarf English Lavender - Purple Flowers - 20 Seeds

Thompson & Morgan

A delightful dwarf lavender, which flowers in its first year from an early sowing! With impressive garden performance, Lavender 'Mini Blue' is ideal for growing in containers or used as a neat evergreen edging to beds and borders.Sow Lavender seeds from February to July on the surface of moist seed compost and cover seeds with a sprinkling of vermiculite or finely sieved compost. Place the seed tray in a propagator at 21-25°C (70-75°F) or seal inside a clear polythene bag until germination, which can be up to 21 days. Keep the compost damp but not wet and do not exclude light as this helps germination. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow lavender plants on in cooler conditions. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7 – 10 days before planting outdoors. Plant dwarf lavenders at a distance of 25cm (10") apart on any light, well-drained soil in full sun. Alternatively grow English Lavender in patio containers using soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3. Lavenders dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting. Overwinter late summer sowings in a cold frame and plant out the following spring.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 30cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 35cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x packet English Lavender 'Mini Blue' (approx. 20 seeds)Flowering period: July to SeptemberImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
