Blooming from late spring into summer, it brings colour and fragrance to sunny borders, containers, herb gardens and dry, Mediterranean-style plantings. The flowers are a favourite of bees and butterflies, and plants are drought-tolerant once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple with purple bracts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer; may rebloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, bushy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–24 in (30–60 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–20 in (30–50 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, 6+ hours daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate; drought-tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA zones 7–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Sow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. For better germination, chill the seeds in the refrigerator for 3–4 weeks first (optional). Press seeds lightly onto the surface of a moist, well-drained seed mix without covering them, and keep in a warm, bright spot around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Keep the mix lightly moist but not wet; germination is slow and can take 2–4 weeks. Transplant seedlings into their final position once they are sturdy and the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in well-drained sandy or loamy soil; lavender dislikes wet roots and heavy clay. Water deeply but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and use little or no fertiliser, as rich soil reduces flowering. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal problems. Remove faded flower heads to encourage more blooms, and trim lightly after flowering to keep plants compact. Rosemary and thyme make ideal companions in a fragrant herb garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45530352418999,"sku":"SS-10-DEC91","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__fully-flowering-spanish-lavender-plant-with-distin__92145.png?v=1765944730","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/spanish-lavender-seeds-lavandula-stoechas-fragrant-perennial-for-gardens-pots","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
