Vera Lavender Seeds – Lavandula angustifolia Fragrant Heirloom Perennial Herb, 100mg

Vera Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a classic English lavender prized for its sweet, calming fragrance and compact, bushy habit. This heirloom perennial produces slender spikes of small purple-blue flowers above narrow, gray-green leaves, bringing timeless beauty to herb gardens, borders, and container plantings. The blooms are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making Vera Lavender a welcome addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Beyond its ornamental value, Vera Lavender is a versatile herb. The fragrant flowers can be harvested for dried arrangements, sachets, and potpourri, while the foliage offers a pleasant scent when brushed or crushed. Its tidy, mounding form works well along pathways, in rock gardens, or as a low hedge in sunny, well-drained spots.

Planting & Care

Start Vera Lavender seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a well-drained seed-starting mix and press them lightly into the soil; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the medium evenly moist but not soggy, and maintain a warm temperature around 65–70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is key. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions.

Choose a sunny location with excellent drainage for planting out. Water young plants regularly until established, then reduce watering; lavender prefers drier conditions and may suffer in poorly drained or overly wet soil. Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow good air circulation. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushy growth. In colder zones, provide winter protection or grow in containers that can be moved indoors.
