Growing Tips for Your Lavender Munstead Strain Seeds:

Sowing Indoors (Recommended): Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow thinly on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press down; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep warm (60-70°F or 15-21°C) until germination, which can be slow and may take 2-4 weeks.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
