Munstead Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia

Conventionally Grown

A tough and beautiful lavender for colder climates.

After many years of trialing lavender, we're proud to add a variety that we can stand behind! Munstead is a compact, slow-growing, and cold hardy English lavender that reliably overwinters. The plants produce two flushes of long-standing, sweetly-scented flowers that can be used for fragrance or culinary purposes. Lavenders require full sun and well-drained soil, and usually don't begin flowering until their second year. Hardy in zones 5-9.

Cold Stratification Required - See Growing Instructions for details.

Growing instructions
Cold Stratification Required: Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Surface sow or barely cover the seeds as light aids in germination. Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks. Remove from fridge and provide temperatures between 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit for best germination.

Transplant outdoors into well drained soil after the danger of frost has passed, taking care not to transplant too deeply. Clip back all spent flower stems in late fall.

    I stratified the seeds in the frig for 4 weeks to try increasing the germination rate. I used the dish method to germinate the seeds but the germination rate was so low that I have only sown 4 sprouted seeds. They are growing slower than the Ellagance lavender seeds from Johnny's and the English lavender seeds from Back to the Roots seed company. FYI, this was had 5% fewer seeds that it was supposed to have (100 seeds). HVSC kindly provided a complimentary 2nd packet which is still stratifying in the frig. I will update my germination results when I start the 2nd packet in the next couple of weeks.

    All the other seeds I purchased from Hudson Valley Seed Co germinated really well but the munsteed lavender was very difficult. I followed the instructions on the packet but was only to able to germinate 2 :/

    We are so sorry you struggled with the lavender seeds. Lavender is a tricky one even for folks experienced with getting perennials to germinate. Please reach out to us via email, we'd be happy to help you get growing
