~ Sowing ~


When to Sow Outside:

Direct sow in early spring after frost, or in late fall to allow seeds to naturally stratify over winter.


When to Start Inside:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Lavender seeds germinate slowly and benefit greatly from cold stratification before sowing.


**Stratification Instructions:**

1. Place seeds in a small bag or container with moist (not wet) sand, vermiculite, or a paper towel.

2. Seal the container or bag and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks. Check periodically to ensure the medium remains moist but not waterlogged.

3. After stratification, sow seeds indoors or outdoors as described below.


**Sowing Indoors:**

1. Fill seed trays or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix. A sandy or gritty mix is ideal.

2. Lightly press seeds into the surface of the soil, barely covering them with a fine layer of sand or mix. Lavender seeds require light to germinate.

3. Mist the soil to ensure it is evenly moist but not soggy.

4. Place the trays in a warm location with temperatures between 65-75°F. Use a heating mat if necessary to maintain consistent warmth.

5. Cover with a clear lid or plastic wrap to retain humidity but ensure airflow to prevent mold.

6. Provide bright light, ideally from a sunny window or grow light.


Days to Emerge:

14-28 days, but germination may take up to 30 days. Patience is key when growing lavender from seed.


**Seed Spacing:**

Space seeds 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to one per pot or planting location once established.


**Hardiness:**

Lavender is frost-tolerant once established. Protect young seedlings from severe freezes.


~ Growing ~


Soil:

Lavender thrives in well-drained, nutrient-poor soil. Amend heavy soils with sand or grit to improve drainage. Avoid overly rich soils, which can lead to reduced fragrance and weak plants.


Watering:

Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as lavender is highly drought-tolerant once established.


Light and Temperature:

Requires full sun for best growth and fragrance. Prefers temperatures between 60°F and 80°F.


Maintenance:

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain compact growth and encourage a second bloom. Avoid heavy pruning, which can damage the plant.


Container Friendly:

Excellent for containers with good drainage. Use a potting mix specifically designed for Mediterranean herbs or mix sand into regular potting soil.


~ Harvesting ~


When to Harvest:

Harvest flowers just as buds begin to open for maximum fragrance and oil concentration.


How to Harvest:

Cut flower spikes at the base, leaving foliage intact to encourage further growth.


Drying and Storing:

Hang bundles of flowers upside down in a dark, dry place to preserve color and fragrance. Store dried flowers in airtight containers away from direct sunlight.


Edible Use:

Lavender flowers can be used in teas, infused into syrups, or added as a unique culinary garnish.


~ Seed Saving ~


Seed Collection:

Allow flowers to dry and form seed heads on the plant. Harvest seeds when heads are brown and dry.


Seed Cleaning:

Gently remove seeds from dried heads and clean off any remaining debris.


Seed Storage:

Store seeds in a cool, dry place. Properly stored seeds remain viable for 2-3 years.


~ Additional Information ~


Forage for Pollinators:

Lavender’s fragrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an eco-friendly choice for gardens.


Origin:

Native to the Mediterranean region, Vera Lavender is a classic herb cultivated for centuries.


History:

Lavender has been treasured throughout history for its calming scent and medicinal uses. A favorite of Victorian apothecaries.


Climate Adaptability:

Ideal for hot, dry climates, Vera Lavender thrives in sunny, low-maintenance gardens.

Best purchase in years . It actually works !!
Color: Grey, Size: King (102" X 90")
I don’t often leave reviews but this certainly justifies one . This is by far one of the best purchases I’ve made . I bought a Rest cooking comforter a few years back but couldn’t justify the cost so returned it. I now live in Florida and have to have the AC constantly on however the room would be freezing , yet my normal duvet would just trap all the heat in so I would still be so hot at night . I haven’t slept well in about 3 years since moving to Florida . I’ve now had this comforter / blanket for 3 nights and I’ve slept so well. It’s so cool to the touch and so soft . It’s the perfect weight too. I was worried it was just going to feel like a thin blanket but it’s not . I’ve managed to turn the AC up so we’re not wasting electricity and freezing our pets . A ceiling fan works perfect above . We put our standard duvet and cover over the comforter during the day to make the bed look nice and then just take it off at night. It’s crazy when you touch the standard duvet and then touch this comforter. It literally feels so cold . Well worth the money. I’m so happy with it .

An excellent all-weather option for all types of sleepers.
Color: White, Size: King (102" X 90")
I'm always freezing at night, but my boyfriend sleeps like a furnace. It's pretty difficult to find bedclothes that work for both of us. This comforter, however, is perfect. It's cool and light, not at all heavy, but it keeps us both at the perfect temperature. I was concerned that this wouldn't be enough to keep me warm in the frigid winter months, but our cold weather has finally begun and this has kept me comfortable throughout the night. I would definitely consider this perfect for use in all weather. One of my favorite things about this comforter is how well it holds up to washing. I just throw it in my washing machine on a normal setting and it cleans it perfectly. I bought this comforter in white, so a bit of bleach and it looks new and bright white every time. Unlike many comforters I've purchased in the past, this one doesn't bunch up on the inside after washing/drying. I've had several more expensive comforters that looked old and lumpy after one wash because the stuffing inside had all settled into different places, typically the corners or one side of the blanket, making it look ragged. This comforter has been washed 3 times since I purchased it and still looks just as good as it did on day one.

Super Soft, Cool & Beautiful!
Color: Green, Size: King (102" X 90")
This blanket is amazing! Its so soft and cool to the touch. It makes you want to skip the flat sheet and sleep with the blanket alone. The green color is gorgeous! I've spent a lot of $ on expensive bamboo quilts this blanket is far better than any of those.

reviewing 2 years later, still in love with this blanket!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (88" X 88")
i've had this blanket for almost two years - i bought it july 5th, 2024. i should have wrote this review much sooner, there hasn't been a single day in the past almost two years of owning this blanket that i have regretted getting it, it is an absolute must have for hot sleepers. it isn't constantly cold, but it is cold to the touch and you'll feel how cold it is as you move around. it mainly helps regulate your body temperature throughout the night. i've washed and dried this blanket so many times (with cold water and low heat as directed) and it still maintains the cooling effect the same as the first day i got it, it also hasn't torn or ripped anywhere. whenever i travel i always miss this blanket and i am so happy when i come back home because i have my blanket again, it makes a huge difference for my quality of sleep. i'm genuinely considering only packing this blanket and nothing else the next time i travel. also, despite helping me stay cool throughout the night, it's very comfortable and has a nice thickness and weight to it, so i don't feel like i have to sleep with a paper thin sheet for the same effect. what i like to do during winter (and i'm talking actual winter, like wind chill in the negatives) is add a thicker blanket on top to get some extra layering, but still have the cooling effect. 1000/10 i absolutely recommend this blanket if you're a hot sleeper and honestly this company in general, bedsure makes some really good stuff! this was a really good investment for me, yes it's an expensive blanket but it pays off for sure. as a goth person i do wish they had some darker colors for this blanket, ideally black, but when this blanket has helped me this much with my sleep? i took the loss in that aspect, and if the color was the only loss i think that says a lot! thank you bedsure for helping me get good sleep :)
