How to Save Lavender Seed Quick & Easy!

Lavender is a fragrant plant, edible flowers, and used in soaps, and
tea, and so much more. We love it because they honeybees collect some
nectar from it. We are saving seeds from our plants today and I am
going to show you just how easy it is to save lavender seed!

Thanks for this tutorial! I accidentally figured out a "hack" for getting the seeds! I collected the flower heads in a basket-style coffee filter and closed it around them, then put that in a baggie and sealed it. The seeds are so tiny I thought that would keep them from getting lost. I stuck the baggie in my pocket where it got crushed. Seeds went to the bottom of the baggie, while the flower heads remained inside the coffee filter.

Thanks for all your seed saving videos. I've been gardening for over 30 years and was never much into seed savings. I always thought it would be more work than it was worth. But this year I've started saving seeds, in part by your tips and trick. Also, I think it speaks volumes about your character and view on gardening that you are so willing to share your seed saving knowledge even though you are in the seed selling business. Can't wait to grow my Orange Roussillini's next spring.

+DW Marschall Thank you so much! We specifically put out free gardening information because we want you to learn for yourself so you don't have to rely on me! :)

I take mine pick the dried flowers and put them in a jar and shake then use a sifter and I usually get a good amount 🥰

[@MIgardener]

There are hundreds of channels showing how to start lavender seed, but after doing some searching found out that there are almost none showing how to save the seed!

[@delectablemountainshomeste8629]

+MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living There are even fewer showing how to handle the lavender once it germinates. I have a tray of germinated lavender seedlings, it took 3 attempts to get to this point. I am not sure how to go about separating the seedlings. I know to wait till they have "true" leaves but am kind of in the dark. :(

[@Kai-lg8ib]

MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living I need this because I have decided to start making lavender oil so I will need lavenders and thank you so much!

[@jaredanderson7494]

I think you may have a video on every species I've looked into so far... thank you.

[@jimsmij]

Just love all these "quick" seed saving videos, Luke. Thanks for sharing.

[@ubaidullahellahi8177]

Thanks for the video, my mother has a massive lavender bush on our family farm and she always wanted to know how to harvest their seeds

[@ordinarysupermom4704]

Thanks! Taking seeds to my next house! 🥰

[@2012SLB]

Great explanation and demonstration. Appreciate it.

[@briansakurada2823]

Have you done one on rosemary?

[@davebates5921]

Really helpful. Just saved me £2.99!

[@jacobnorwood6499]

Nice. I move to a place with tons of lavender. I was able to get loads of English and French lavender seeds!

[@FairyRosee_]

You have a video on everything I randomly search 😂

[@ThatGardener]

Thank you good one will be trying tomorrow.

[@Trish620]

What if you wait until spring? Will it be better, going through the winter first? Or worse? I'm asking because I accidentally left mine until now.

[@PinkChucky15]

That's really cool, those seeds definitely hide well :-)

[@MIgardener]

+PinkChucky15 They really do. I would ave to say that these are the most time consuming plants to save seeds from which is why I love that they are a perennial... because if I had to do that every year? Not happening!

[@anne-marienadeau842]

Thank you for the video ! What do you suggest for lavender leaves? Is there something to do with it like some sachet? Do we wait at the end of automn too before harvesting them? Thanks :)

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

Thanks for sharing Luke. Best wishes Bob.

[@MIgardener]

+Bob Lt (BobMel's Gardening) Thanks Bob! How did your garden do this year? :)

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

I can't brag. We had a lot of challenges this year. Not a total fail either. Best wishes Bob.

[@adambaggins6662]

Wow thanks for the advice!

[@MIgardener]

+Adam Mendez Thank you SO much!

[@cassywalker8203]

How do you plant them???

[@chrisaube9548]

Love these videos!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@MIgardener]

+NomdeGuerre Lucy So glad you are enjoying them!

[@irasofiapantollana4582]

I've searched up the web and found no information about how long will lavender seeds last? Can anyone please educate me?

[@madeline569]

I think for most seeds as long as they're kept in dry dark place they can last a very very y long time

[@michelebrodbeck3585]

Thank you so much. I started saving seeds this year for the first time. Do you know if saving mint seeds is similar to lavender? I have a ton of mint that I'll be digging up while renovating the garden and I'd love to plant some next season.

[@MIgardener]

+Michele Brodbeck Mint is very similar to basil actually. We have a video on that!

[@MrDevicks]

Just curious. What is that red thing behind you? I have seen it in a lot of your videos.

[@MIgardener]

It is a buoy!

[@victoriafisher6934]

U did not say when to plant
