Description
True lavender, Lavandula vera or angustifolia in Latin, is a perennial plant with an unmistakable scent that evokes the South and vacations. It is traditionally used to perfume laundry but also in cooking to flavour certain desserts like ice cream and pastries. Sowing from February to May.
Originally from the Mediterranean basin, true lavender, also called officinal lavender, is a perennial plant that belongs to the Lamiaceae family. It forms beautiful fragrant clumps with greyish-green foliage that are adorned, in summer, with marvelous blue flowers.
Lavender is a resistant and easy-to-grow aromatic, it likes the sun and prefers poor, light, even rocky and well-drained soils. If your soil is rather damp and clayey, we advise you to cultivate it in a pot instead.
It is a plant that fears nothing except humidity and overly rich soils which, by accelerating its growth, give it a lanky appearance.
Harvest: Lavender is harvested during flowering, from late June to August depending on the region. Take advantage of the harvest to give it a nice pruning that will allow it to maintain a rounded and dense habit.
Preservation: Lavender is traditionally preserved by drying.
The gardener's little tip: In the garden, don't hesitate to plant a few lavender plants at the feet of your roses. It's a classic association, indeed, but effective because it has the ability to repel insects.

Planting and care
Sowing :
Lavender can be sown from February to May at a temperature around 18°. Germination usually takes about twenty days.
The sowing is done in a tray filled with good sowing compost, placed in full light. The seeds are lightly buried and just covered with a pinch of compost or vermiculite. The tray should not be covered, keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged.
When the seedlings seem strong enough to be handled, transplant them into pots and gradually acclimatize your young plants to cooler conditions.
Transplanting in the garden or in pots is done when the plants are well-developed, they can potentially spend their first winter in a cold frame.
Cultivation :
Lavender is a hardy and easy-to-grow aromatic plant, it thrives in poor, light, even rocky and well-drained soils. If your soil is rather moist and clayey, we advise you to grow it in a pot where it will thrive.
As for maintenance, water every 15 days or once a month if the plant is already well-established. Pruning once or twice a year (on the current year's wood) will keep it nicely rounded and compact.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
