Lavender Planting and Care Guide
Quick Facts About Lavender
Lavender is arguably one of the most popular herbs. They are delicate and versatile, providing colorful flower spikes with a wonderful sweet aroma that attract humming birds, bees and butterflies. Lavender plants are in the mint family, and they are easygoing perennials, loving hot dry summers and cool, moist winters.
Planting Time
Lavender seeds can be started any time indoors in starter trays. Prior to any sowing, the seeds require a cold stratification for the best germination results. If sowing Lavender seeds directly outdoors, sow the seeds in the winter when the seeds will receive the natural cold exposure.
Planting Location
Lavender plants needs to be in a full sun exposure, in soil with good drainage, and in an area large enough that the plants will have good air circulation.
How to Plant Lavender
- If planting indoors, allow 10 - 12 weeks for a cold treatment
- Mix the seeds into a handful of moistened sand or soil and put this into a plastic bag
- Place the plastic bag in the refrigerator for the 10 - 12 weeks
- Remove the seeds from the refrigerator and sow the seed into warm, moist soil in trays
- Gently press the seeds into the soil, sprinkle light soil on top
- Provide moisture, warmth, and ample light
- After 10 - 12 weeks of growth, harden the plants off prior to transplanting outside - when there is no danger of frost
Care And Maintenance
- Lavender plants are fairly easy to maintain
- Irrigate only when the soil is dry
- Prune the plants back in the early spring
- Put compost around the base of the Lavender plant each spring
- Harvest flowers after the 2nd season of growth
- Cut flowers as desire

How Much Seed Do I Need?
How to Calculate Square Footage And Purchase the Right Amount of Wildflower Seed In 3 Easy Steps
Before purchasing wildflower seeds to plant your meadow, calculate the square footage of your meadow or garden bed. This guide will walk you through the 3 easy steps, so that you'll know how much seed you need!
1. Measure
For Squares or Rectangles: measure the length and width of the space where you want to plant.
For Circles: find the radius by measuring the widest part of your planting space and divide by 2.
2. Calculate Square Footage
For Squares or Rectangles: length (in feet) x width (in feet) = square feet
For example, a garden that measures 50 feet x 30 feet = 1500 sq. ft.
For Circles: 3.14 x radius (in feet) x radius = square feet
For example, a circular garden that is 20 feet across has a radius of 10 feet. 10 x 10 x 3.14 = 314 sq. ft.
(The mathematical formula for the area of a circle is Π · r2 - the Π symbol is pronounced Pi and represents approximately 3.142, and r2 stands for radius squared.)
3. Find How Much Seed You Need
The amount of seed you should plant depends on the flower display you want. We typically recommend planting on the higher side for a lush meadow. Plant on the lower side for a more scattered look.
For Individual Species: The recommended rates vary greatly from species to species. Check the product page, or contact us with questions.
For Wildflower Mixes: Reference the table below.
This Much Seed Covers... | This Much Square Footage |
---|---|
1/4 lb | 250 - 500 sq. ft. |
1/2 lb | 500 - 1,000 sq. ft. |
1 lb | 1,000 - 2,000 sq. ft. |
5 lbs | 5,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. |
10 lbs | 10,000 - 25,000 sq. ft. |
- 1 Acre = 43,000 sq.ft.
- 1/2 Acre = 21,500 sq. ft.
- 1/4 Acre = 10,750 sq.ft.
- 1/10 Acre = 4,300 sq. ft.
Tips For Larger Plantings: If you have a large site, from 1/2 acre to several acres, your planting rate may be affected by land conditions. If you have heavy weeds on the site now, some erosion, generally poor soil, or other land problems, additional seed is usually the most economical solution, since installation of a large planting usually costs more than the seed itself. If your site does have these problems and you want full coverage, use 1 pound per 1000 sq. ft.
