FAQs

When is the best time to sow Lavender Munstead seeds?

Sow the seeds according to the specific guidance provided on your Thompson & Morgan seed packet, usually in spring when temperatures begin to rise.

Can I grow this lavender in containers?

Yes, Lavender Munstead is compact enough to thrive in containers, provided they have adequate drainage holes and are filled with a free-draining potting mix.

How do I prune my Lavender Munstead?

Prune lightly after the main flowering period in late August, cutting back the green growth but avoiding cutting into the older, woody stems.

Are all parts of the lavender edible?

The product notes that some parts are edible; however, always verify specific culinary uses and ensure no chemicals have been applied if you intend to consume them.

How many seeds come in the packet?

The packet contains approximately 110 seeds.

Troubleshooting

Seeds failing to germinate

Ensure seeds are planted in high-quality, well-draining seed compost and kept in a warm, bright location with consistent moisture.

Plants becoming leggy or sparse

This usually indicates a lack of sunlight. Move the plant to a location with more direct sun exposure.

Root rot or yellowing leaves

Reduce watering frequency and improve soil drainage by adding grit or sand to the planting site.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, sow these seeds in a position that receives full sunlight throughout the day. Ensure the soil is well-draining, as lavender is prone to root rot if left in standing water. When planting, space the seeds according to the instructions on the packet to account for the eventual 60cm spread of each mature plant. Maintenance is minimal; light pruning after the flowering period ends in late summer will help maintain the plant's bushy shape and prevent it from becoming too woody over time. Avoid heavy fertilization, as lavender prefers leaner soil conditions.
