[@LearnHow2]

Hi Jo. I'm so glad!

[@ishficici7446]

great video. love the refrigerator trick!

[@LearnHow2]

Thank you for your appreciation. The refrigerator fools the seeds into experiencing a dormant winter period. Keep safe.

[@jlnriddick]

This is easily the most successful video on growing Lavender from seed! Your plants were perfect from seedling to full plants! I know I'll be watching it again and again, as I currently have my lavender seeds in the fridge going through stratification! Wow, I'm just blown away at the success rate you had with your seeds. Thank you so much for sharing your success and knowledge!

[@LearnHow2]

What fantastic comments! Thank you for your appreciation. Good luck with your growing and keep safe.

[@janettidswell2092]

Very useful and informative video. Could you please tell me what compost you used for the seedlings and potting on.

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Janet. It was a type called 'Humax' but it is not sold anymore due to movement away from Peat. Any general purpose compost will do. Keep safe.

[@LearnHow2]

Glad it was helpful Ray!

[@bogsdolics]

Hi Great video , what time of year do you do this with the seeds, thanks, G.

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Graeme. Thanks for your appreciation. I collect the seeds at end of summer (September). Put them in the refrigerator Mid January and begin germination indoors in February. Keep safe.

[@spoolsandbobbins]

I find It’s a bit easier if you dampen a paper towel and stratify them as well as germinate first. Then transplant the tiny sprouts directly into soil. GREAT video!!

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Heidi. Great tip and thank you for your appreciation. Keep safe.

[@hamoodyalsulemane3842]

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I just gathered seeds as you’ve shown! Now I want to put on my calendar when I should put the seeds in the refrigerator, so I need to know how to o put extra the date I want to plant them. I’m in a 8b. Thanks! When do I want to plan to put the little seedlings outside in the garden? Should I harden the little seedlings off before putting them in the ground? Could I just set them out in pots until they are bigger and hardier? What should I do about soil amendment in the garden for lavender?

[@LearnHow2]

Put the seeds in the refrigerator in early January. Keep warm indoors while the seedlings germinate until the plants are about 2 to 3cm tall, then harden them off. You can start them in pots to save you having to transplant. They grow best in direct sunlight in fast draining soil - not damp or cold. They prefer poor, dry or moderately fertile soil, including chalky and alkaline soils. Keep safe.

[@crochetjeddah8455]

Do you water the covered box when kept for germination ?

[@sub04aru]

Thanks for the video. One question, the established lavender plant you show at the end, is that from one single seedling or did you combine many seedlings to make one lavender hedge? Not clear if lavender continues to grow outward or if it’s many plants bunched together.

[@LearnHow2]

It is from a single seedling. One seedling can grow to about one meter wide. Keep safe.

[@ClassicRoyal]

Wow they look great!

[@LearnHow2]

They are beautiful lowers and the scent is amazing.

[@greannysmith]

Congratulations on your video very instructive and very interesting, I have a few questions hope it's no bugger to ask. First of all is the fridge process a must or can I plant them in the soil if the temperature drops low in my area? Like under 0° celsius. Is there any suggestions you can give me for planting them in a very clay rich soil environment? Also how much can I prune a plant without damaging it to get seeds from it (end of August) Thanks in advance!

[@LearnHow2]

Thank you for your appreciation. I have a very rich clay soil and dont give the plants any special treatment...put them in the soil and off they go with no help other than watering. I also leave seeds that have fallen to ground over winter - some germinate so yes you could miss out the refrigeration. When pruning I normally cut back by two thirds at end of summer.

[@greannysmith]

@@LearnHow2 mint, or I might say... Lavender 😅

thank you for doing this

[@premnathkangatharan2193]

Hi thanks for the great video explaining how to do this.... my neighbour has the most wonderfull lavender that draws all kinds of insects both night and day.... i am going to ask her if i can harvest the seeds, or seedlings. One question is it neccesary to put them in the fridge??

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Premnath. My Lavender has a great smell attracts hundreds of Bees. Good luck with your growing.

[@premnathkangatharan2193]

@@LearnHow2 can you help me with the Refrigeration part... what will happen if i don't give the seeds this winter schock?? Will they now grow regardless??

[@AA-eb9ml]

Fabulous ! Thank you

[@louisesanders839]

Is it still the same process with seeds you get from a packet?

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Louise. It is the same process but you should be able to skip the Cold Stratification. Keep safe.

[@RonenAKoi]

Can I follow the same method for growing other seeds like camomile , calendula, rosemary & oregano.

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Ronen. I am not sure bur I'll do some research. Keep safe.

[@LadyLavenderx]

What's the difference between keeping the seeds in the fridge for 3-4 weeks vs. in the freezer over night. I've tried to leaving the seeds in the freezer overnight and the seeds germinated fine 3 days later, but I just wanted to know does it have it have any impact on how the plants will turn out long term?

[@LearnHow2]

I have read that freezing and thawing speeds up the process but I have never tried your method. Keep safe.

[@ABCDEF-os5or]

Can we follow the same procedure for any flower seeds from our garden, such as marigold?

[@LearnHow2]

No all seeds can be collected the same way. Keep safe.

[@vanessanuo5458]

Do you have to water it everyday ? Or just leave it till the seeds germinates?

[@LearnHow2]

HI Vanessa. I check every day and keep the soil damp. Keep safe.

[@nicholasphilip7733]

A question would lavender like promix aka peat moss or coco coir.

[@LearnHow2]

I have not tried coco coir but mine were grown in peat moss and I have never had any problem with it.

[@pierrelaviolette670]

Thank you!

[@LearnHow2]

You're welcome Pierre! Keep safe.

[@cqammaz53]

When did you start this process?

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Carolyn. The seeds were collected last August, stored over winter and went in the refrigerator on 16th February.

[@vslikhite1]

How maany years can we expect a well established plant to survive? We have very cold winters (=10 F) and very hot summers (100 + F)

[@LearnHow2]

They can survive anything between 5 and 15 years. Keep safe.

[@BeckiieAnne]

Great video- thankyou!

[@LearnHow2]

My pleasure! Keep safe.

[@revengeofsuperman]

dont they need light to germinate? why cover?

[@LearnHow2]

You are correct - my mistake. But covering them didnt stop mine germinating.

[@parisharma8163]

Hi can I grow them in October here in India it’s slightly cold weather

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Pari. Here in the UK where winter temperatures get below zero for many days they have survived outside ok so I think you will be ok. Keep safe.

[@honeybunny5325]

Wow thanks.

[@LearnHow2]

You are most welcome

[@Nadine929]

Can we plant lavender seeds like this now? (June)

[@LearnHow2]

Hi Nadine. Yes, if you have the seeds it is not too late to start them

[@abbbb5625]

If I have lavender plants in a indoor garden with a constant temperature between 18-22 degree celcius, the plant will never have any winter. How does it affect the plant?

[@LearnHow2]

I have no experience of this but interestingly I am growing one indoors this year so would like to know myself.

[@abbbb5625]

@@LearnHow2 Thanks, I will start growing indoor in a few years when I retire... will have a nice 100 SQM area indoor as an extension of the house with geothermal heating.
