Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about Provence Lavender seed growing, hybrid characteristics, flowering, and harvesting.
How do you grow Provence Lavender from seeds?
Start Provence Lavender seeds in a well-draining seed-starting medium using the supplier's recommended sowing depth. Maintain suitable warmth, moisture, and light during germination. Once seedlings develop, provide bright light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Transplant into a sunny location with well-drained soil after the risk of frost has passed. Remember that seed-grown hybrid lavenders may vary from the parent plant.
Is Provence Lavender the same as English Lavender?
No. Provence Lavender is a lavandin hybrid, Lavandula × intermedia, generally associated with a cross between English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Portuguese or spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia). English Lavender is a separate species. Provence Lavender typically develops taller flower stems and is valued for its strong fragrance and ornamental garden appearance.
When should you harvest Provence Lavender flowers?
Harvest Provence Lavender flower spikes when the buds have developed color and are beginning to open, depending on your intended use. For dried arrangements and sachets, cutting stems before all flowers fully open can help preserve their appearance. Harvest during dry weather, preferably in the morning after the dew has evaporated. Hang the stems in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location until completely dry.
