Lavandula multifida Spanish Eyes - Fernleaf Lavender seeds

Annual Lavender with the scent of Oregano is a very special variety of Lavender, which is somewhat similar to Butterfly Lavender. It bears smaller flowers than the classic Lavender and exhales a fragrance that resembles oregano with a hint of mint. Sow from March to May.

Native to the Iberian Peninsula where it is found in its natural state, this Lavender with the scent of Oregano is an annual plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It forms fragrant clumps with finely cut green foliage. Its English name, "Fernleaf Lavender," literally comes from this characteristic. In summer it is adorned with marvellous little blue flowers.

Lavender is a resilient and easy-to-grow aromatic plant that thrives in the sun and prefers poor, light, even rocky, and well-drained soils. If your soil is damp and clayey, we recommend growing it in a pot instead.

It only dislikes humidity and overly rich soils, which accelerate its growth to give it a lanky appearance.

Harvest: Lavender is harvested during flowering, from late June to August depending on the region. Take advantage of the harvest to prune it to maintain a rounded and dense shape.

Storage: Lavender is traditionally preserved by drying.

The gardener's little trick: In the garden, plant some Lavender at the base of your roses. It is a classic association which can repel insects.
