Lavender is great for its oils and culinary uses. The flowers are compact and edible and can be used to garnish desserts and as a distinct flavor element in baked goods. Flavor is sweet and floral, and pair well with citrus, berries, nuts, mint, and cinnamon. Perennial in USDA zones 5-8.

GROWING TIPS

Start seed indoors 8-10 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Cold stratification can greatly improve germination. Store seeds for 2-3 weeks in refrigerator, 32-40°F, prior to sowing. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-75 degrees. Cover with soil very lightly as seeds require light to germinate. Transplant to the garden after your average last frost date. Direct seeding in the garden is not recommended. Harvest the flower spikes on a warm, dry day just as the flowers are beginning to open. Hang to dry out of direct sunlight in a dry space. Can be used in beds and borders. Requires full sun and well-drained soil. Perennial in zones 5-9.
