Is Lavender Easy to Grow From Seeds?

Yes, growing lavender from seed is easier than you might think. You just need to take the necessary steps to prepare your plant for the best chance at a successful season.

Start your lavender plant seeds indoors 10 to 12 weeks before your last frost date. Use a nutrient-rich seed starting mix and grab a growing light so your lavender can germinate.

Keep them moist but not soggy, and be patient—germination can take 2 to 3 weeks. Once your seedlings are established, transplant them into your garden or a container in a sunny spot. 

Does Lavender Grow Best in Sun or Shade?

Lavender loves full sun. To get the most blooms and the strongest fragrance, plant your lavender where it gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. In shady areas, lavender can become leggy and may not bloom as much.

How Often Should I Water Lavender?

Lavender prefers dry conditions once it's established. Water seedlings regularly, but after transplanting, let the soil dry out between waterings.

Mature plants only need watering once every week or two. Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes with lavender, so make sure you have well-draining soil. 

What Are Good Companion Plants for Lavender?

Lavender pairs well with other sun-loving plants like rosemary, thyme, echinacea, and sage. These herbs and flowers enjoy the same dry, well-drained soil and full sun and they help attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

But not all plants are a good match for lavender. Avoid planting lavender near moisture-loving plants like mint, basil, or impatiens. These varieties prefer rich, damp soil—conditions that can cause lavender to develop root rot or other fungal issues.

It's also best to keep heavy feeders like tomatoes or peppers separate from lavender, as their soil and nutrient needs can compete and cause stress.

Do Lavender Plants Multiply?

Yes, over time, lavender plants can grow wider and produce new shoots. You can also propagate them from softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings in the spring or summer, or by layering stems directly in the soil for even more new plants.

With the right care—plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, and occasional pruning—lavender will reward you year after year. This makes it a great investment for low-maintenance gardeners who want lasting color, fragrance, and pollinator appeal.

5 Steps to Plant Lavender Seeds

Starting lavender from seed may take a little extra time and care, but it's well worth the effort. Follow these simple steps to set yourself up for success:

  1. Start Indoors - Begin 10 to 12 weeks before your last frost. Use a seed tray and light, well-draining soil.

  2. Press, Don’t Bury - Lavender seeds need light to germinate, so gently press them into the surface of the soil.

  3. Keep Moist and Warm - Use a humidity dome or plastic wrap to keep moisture in. Keep the temperature around 65–70°F.

  4. Be Patient - Germination can take up to 21 days, so patience is key. 

  5. Transplant Outdoors - Once seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves and your soil has warmed, transplant to a sunny spot with well-draining soil.

Remember—lavender is a long-lived perennial, so that bit of extra care now means years of beauty, fragrance, and pollinators.
