In order to germinate, lavender seeds need a period of cool temperatures called “cold stratification”. If you skip this step, you may still have success. But most likely, you’ll see a very low germination rate.The easiest way to cold stratify lavender seeds is to place them in moist soil, then put them into the refrigerator for 3-6 weeks before planting. Step 1: Prepare the soil – If you plan to use pellets, moisten them before placing them into the seed trays. Otherwise, fill the plastic cells with the soil mix. Decide how many seeds to plant – Since they tend to germinate unevenly, I recommend planting 2-3 lavender seeds per hole or pellet.If you’re direct sowing them outside, space them in groupings about 2″ apart, and thin them to 18″ later on. Step 2: Plant the seeds – Since they need light to germinate, I prefer to drop my lavender seeds on top of the soil and leave them there.You can cover them with a thin layer of dirt if you prefer, but take care that they aren’t more than 1/8″ deep: Water the soil – If it’s not already damp, then water the soil until it’s evenly moist.It’s a good idea to water the trays from the bottom, rather than over the top, to avoid displacing the tiny seeds.Cover the trays – Put the plastic dome lid on top of the trays. This will help to keep the soil moist during germination
