Description
Lavender is an ancient perennial tea, incense, fragrance and medicinal plant that originated in Persia, today's Iran. Thousands of years ago, the herb was used by the ancient Egyptians for their religious ceremonies; today it is mainly used in cosmetics and as a fragrance. It grows wild as a low shrub in rocky coastal regions of the Mediterranean. The Romans used to use the herb of Provence to wash bodies and clothes. This species develops a particularly rich oil and forms beautiful blue-violet flowers that give off the typical lavender scent and are visited by many insects. This species is edible and has a calming effect when taken as a tea.

Sowing by climate zone
Subtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g. B. Portugal, Spain, Italy)
Direct sowing from February to September is recommended. The plants should ideally be planted in a sunny location.
Moderate climate (e. g. B. Germany, Switzerland, Poland)
Direct sowing from March to May is recommended. The plants should ideally be planted in a sunny location.

General recommendations
Germination naturally occurs irregularly over a period of 6 weeks. Cool temperatures produce better germination results, but are not absolutely necessary. Direct sowing is recommended. After germination, thin out the plants to the specified plant spacing.
Lavender prefers a permeable, nutrient-poor, dry and sandy-gravelly loam soil. Doesn't tolerate waterlogging.

Additional tips
In order to quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and permeable soil with good nutrient and water storage capacity, additional incorporation of biochar and primary rock flour is recommended.

Type of propagation
Propagation occurs via seeds or cuttings.

Plant care
Regular watering results in faster growth. No fertilization necessary.
