Roll seeds in a damp paper towel, put in a freezer bag and let sit at room temperature for a few hours. Lavender is slow to germinate and takes a few extra steps to get the germination process going. Place the plate into the refrigerator in a place that will not be disturbed for the next 30 to 40 days.
Take Your Seeds (Harvested Or Purchased) And Place Onto A Damp Paper Towel.
If you plant too deeply they might not germinate. Give your bag of seeds a minimum of 3 months before you throw in the towel, and be sure that they have had at least 7 heated days (bring the bag to 75 to 85 degrees for a few hours each of these 7 days). Sow lavender seeds on top of the soil and do not cover them.
