Planting Instructions:

1. Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in the garden after frost has passed.
2. Sowing Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix or directly into prepared garden soil.
3. Germination: Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C) and keep the soil consistently moist (but not waterlogged) until seedlings emerge.
4. Transplanting: Once seedlings develop several true leaves, gradually harden them off before transplanting into their final location, spacing them about 12–18 inches apart.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Provide regular water during dry spells to maintain even soil moisture; mature French Lavender is relatively drought tolerant.
• Fertilizing: Use a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer or organic compost every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
• Pruning: Lightly trim back after flowering to maintain shape, encourage new growth, and improve air circulation.
• General Care: Ensure full sun exposure and good air circulation to prevent fungal issues and promote robust blooming.
