    Customer photo review of Lavender Seeds

    I chose to winter sow these seeds and start a few indoors. I had phenomenal success growing them outdoors in jugs but the seeds started indoors didn't look as healthy. I do believe the extended cold stratification period resulted in success while winter sowing. Definitely worth trying if you experience cooler temperatures in winter.

    So far so good! The seeds were packaged well and arrived pretty quick. Got them planted and currently have five little sprouts :)

    I followed the cold moist stratification instructions provided and all the seeds I planted germinated! I have 200 potted up lavender bushes under my grow lights waiting to be planted outdoors. All from one seed packet! (I chose to stop at 200, there were many more seeds I didn't use.) Outstanding germination and so easy to grow.

    100% Germination Rate!!! I have had outstanding results! I followed the instruction on video (refrigerate in damp towel for 3-4 weeks before germinating in light), and every seed came to life! I planted them in a seed starting blend from my local plant store, in small containers I rolled with a cool newspaper planter rolling hand wooden hand device I have and they popped right up within a couple days! They are now under a grow light and I will plant my 200 babies this spring. Thank you Eden Brothers! I am impressed! The other reviews must not have followed instructions. Highly recommend! I will be a repeat customer. :)

    Yes, it took a little while for these to come up but from what I read, it is normal since this is a perennial. I am in my 2nd year and I have loads of lavender all along my border. I wish I could attach a picture! Well worth the wait in my opinion.

    I planted these a couple of weeks ago and I am still waiting for them to come up. It might be the wet,damp weather we've been having, but it was sunny today, so I will wait a while longer!
