Lavender Vera Seeds - Fragrant Old-Fashioned Heirloom 

Experience the timeless charm and robust hardiness of Lavender Vera Seeds, an old-fashioned English heirloom prized for its sweetly fragrant blooms and exceptional cold tolerance. Perfect for cut flowers, sachets, or lavender oil production, this compact variety delivers abundant thin flower spikes with dark blue calyxes and delicate lavender corollas in early summer. Whether grown in containers or garden beds, it’s a water-wise, deer-resistant gem that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Why Choose Lavender Vera Seeds?

This non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom (Lavendula angustifolia) is a dual-purpose superstar - ornamental and edible! Its flowers infuse baked goods with a floral essence (use sparingly!) while offering health-boosting antioxidants. Each packet contains 300 seeds, enough to plant an 80’ row, with blooms ready to harvest in just 100 days.

Key Features:

  • Superior Cold Hardiness: Thrives in winter climates
  • Perennial: Cold-hardy, typically comes back every year in Zones 5-9 
  • Fragrant & Versatile: Ideal for crafts, cooking, and aromatherapy
  • Pollinator-Friendly: Draws bees and butterflies
  • Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and pest-resistant

Growing Tips for Success

For best results, cold-stratify seeds 2-3 weeks before sowing indoors (late winter) or outdoors (early spring/fall). Press seeds lightly into soil. No covering needed, and provide full light. Germination may take 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 18” apart for lush growth. Pro tip: Start extra seeds to account for natural variability!
