I bought some Lavender seeds from Bunnings. It’s just some generic Mr. Fothergill’s seeds, nothing too special. I thought since I was going for a rather fragrant collection of flowers for my garden, that a dwarf lavender would be a nice addition. Only problem is that I have no idea where I’m going to put them!

Anyway, it’s the Munstead variety, also called English Dwarf. I thought they would look very nice in the 3 terracotta (yes, I know, sinful terracotta, but they’re so pretty!) pots I have. 2 of the pots are being used to grow cherry tomatoes (now that’s super sinful), but I expect them to finish fruiting, if they ever fruit that is, I kinda planted them in the wrong season since I was so eager to try to grow them. Anyway, after the tomatoes finish fruiting I’ll be throwing them out and planting the lavender seedlings in their pots. I think the purplish blue flowers would look quite nice against the orange red of the terracotta.

So anyway, I successfully germinated some of the lavender seeds. I’ve got 5 seedlings right now, but I’m afraid one of them might be dying on me already.

Here are a couple of photos.
