~ Sowing ~


When to Sow Outside:

Direct sow in early spring after frost, or in late fall to allow seeds to naturally stratify over winter.


When to Start Inside:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Lavender seeds germinate slowly and benefit greatly from cold stratification before sowing.


**Stratification Instructions:**

1. Place seeds in a small bag or container with moist (not wet) sand, vermiculite, or a paper towel.

2. Seal the container or bag and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks. Check periodically to ensure the medium remains moist but not waterlogged.

3. After stratification, sow seeds indoors or outdoors as described below.


**Sowing Indoors:**

1. Fill seed trays or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix. A sandy or gritty mix is ideal.

2. Lightly press seeds into the surface of the soil, barely covering them with a fine layer of sand or mix. Lavender seeds require light to germinate.

3. Mist the soil to ensure it is evenly moist but not soggy.

4. Place the trays in a warm location with temperatures between 65-75°F. Use a heating mat if necessary to maintain consistent warmth.

5. Cover with a clear lid or plastic wrap to retain humidity but ensure airflow to prevent mold.

6. Provide bright light, ideally from a sunny window or grow light.


Days to Emerge:

14-28 days, but germination may take up to 30 days. Patience is key when growing lavender from seed.


**Seed Spacing:**

Space seeds 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to one per pot or planting location once established.


**Hardiness:**

Lavender is frost-tolerant once established. Protect young seedlings from severe freezes.


~ Growing ~


Soil:

Lavender thrives in well-drained, nutrient-poor soil. Amend heavy soils with sand or grit to improve drainage. Avoid overly rich soils, which can lead to reduced fragrance and weak plants.


Watering:

Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as lavender is highly drought-tolerant once established.


Light and Temperature:

Requires full sun for best growth and fragrance. Prefers temperatures between 60°F and 80°F.


Maintenance:

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain compact growth and encourage a second bloom. Avoid heavy pruning, which can damage the plant.


Container Friendly:

Excellent for containers with good drainage. Use a potting mix specifically designed for Mediterranean herbs or mix sand into regular potting soil.


~ Harvesting ~


When to Harvest:

Harvest flowers just as buds begin to open for maximum fragrance and oil concentration.


How to Harvest:

Cut flower spikes at the base, leaving foliage intact to encourage further growth.


Drying and Storing:

Hang bundles of flowers upside down in a dark, dry place to preserve color and fragrance. Store dried flowers in airtight containers away from direct sunlight.


Edible Use:

Lavender flowers can be used in teas, infused into syrups, or added as a unique culinary garnish.


~ Seed Saving ~


Seed Collection:

Allow flowers to dry and form seed heads on the plant. Harvest seeds when heads are brown and dry.


Seed Cleaning:

Gently remove seeds from dried heads and clean off any remaining debris.


Seed Storage:

Store seeds in a cool, dry place. Properly stored seeds remain viable for 2-3 years.


~ Additional Information ~


Forage for Pollinators:

Lavender’s fragrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an eco-friendly choice for gardens.


Origin:

Native to the Mediterranean region, Vera Lavender is a classic herb cultivated for centuries.


History:

Lavender has been treasured throughout history for its calming scent and medicinal uses. A favorite of Victorian apothecaries.


Climate Adaptability:

Ideal for hot, dry climates, Vera Lavender thrives in sunny, low-maintenance gardens.

Fun and durable toy
Lots of fun for this crazy guy! He pounces on it, chases it and has so much fun. The confusion on his face is so funny. He usually gets bored fast, however this ball keeps him quite entertained. The ball holds a charge for a few playtimes so that is also a plus!

Awesome for hyper dogs
Color: Blue
AWESOME - I have a dog that just won't stop trying to get me to play with him ALL day! I turn this thing on and he goes nuts and tires himself out...without any help from me. The cover got torn off and torn up in minutes but he doesn't care. He just wants this ball. My other dogs, who are older, aren't really interested. But if you have a hyper dog this is the thing for you and them!

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.
