Common lavender - Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender is a perennial herb from the Mediterranean region that everyone knows. This beautifully flowering, wonderfully fragrant, shrub-like plant was once used mainly to freshen up linen cupboards. But lavender is far more versatile: its scented flowers attract bees and butterflies, have a calming effect in aromatherapy, and can even be used in the kitchen. A hint of lavender
gives cakes, honey, or herb blends a subtle floral note.
Sowing from mid-March to the end of June.
Place some pebbles or pieces of broken flowerpot at the bottom of the tub for good drainage. Then spread the compost evenly, keeping about one tenth aside for later use. Open the seed packet and scatter the seeds over the soil. Cover them with the reserved compost, press down gently, and moisten with a spray bottle. Cover the tub with cling film to prevent the soil from drying out and place it in a light, warm spot (around 20°C). Keep the soil moist. Once the seedlings appear (after about 3 weeks), remove the film. When the seedlings are about 2 cm tall, choose one plant to keep. Transplant the others into another container or pot. From the end of May, you can place the tub outside in a sunny spot.
