Lavender French Purple Ribbon

Lavandula stoechas

Tender Perennial (Zones 7 - 10). Wing-like petals look like purple butterflies resting atop deeper purple flower heads. The strong, compact plants are ideal for herb and flower gardens, and planting in containers. Also called Spanish lavender, leaves have a different fragrance from other lavender varieties. In colder climates, grow Purple Ribbon as an annual and take cuttings or bring indoors to overwinter.

Full sun. Blooms late spring to summer

Height: 18" tall

Days to Emerge: 21 - 28

Seed Depth: Surface to 1/8"

Seed Spacing: A group of 5 seeds every 10"

Thinning: When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 10"

When to sow outside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked, or late fall in any climate. Germination is aided by cold treatment period that occurs during the winter.

When to start inside: Recommended for northern climates. 10 to 12 weeks before average last frost. Transplant seedlings after average last frost.

Special germination instructions: Seeds sprout better after stratification - a moist/cold treatment.
