I bought some lavender seeds online, to add variety to the xeric border. I wanted plants that might be a little different from what I already have, or can find in stores. Also, that are advertised as blooming the first year from seeds, if started early.
I'm starting them extra early in hopes of getting a head start on next year.
I chose the varieties Vicenza Blue and Bandera Rose. Bandera Rose is a mini variety, Vicenza Blue might grow a but larger but still not huge.
I sowed the seeds on top of moist seed starting medium. I spritz them every day. They are at house room temp, not on a heating mat. Around mid 60s F to about 70 F. It has been ten days.
No seedlings yet in one of the Vicenza Blue containers, and the other has fewer than the Bandera Rose. I don't need a lot of plants, so I'm happy so far.
