Outsidepride Perennial Lavandula Lavender Spanish Eyes Fragrant Herb Garden, Heat, Drought Tolerant Plants - 200 Seeds

Lavandula multifida is a fast-growing, long-blooming favorite of gardeners everywhere. It likes a position in full sun with fast-draining soil. This variety, Spanish Eyes, reaches 18 inches in height and forms a nicely-shaped plant with delicate, sky-blue blooms. It works well in flower beds, gardens, and can be used to form a hedge. Spanish Eyes is a perennial in zones 8 – 10, but will quickly grow as an annual in cooler zones. Lavender is usually resistant to both deer and rabbits. In the spring, start the seed indoors 8 - 10 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the seed into the soil, cover the seed very lightly, and keep it moist. With a temperature of 68F, germination is normally within 21 days. After danger of frost has passed, transplant the seedlings outdoors and space the plants 18 inches apart. Spanish Eyes should be fed regularly with fertilizer and mulch around the roots during the summer to keep roots cooler and retain moisture.
