Lavandula multifida 'Spanish Eyes'

Product number: 594120
Origin: Mediterranean region
Latin: Lavandula multifida

This species looks strikingly different from other garden lavenders. It has deeply lobed, fern-like, silver-green leaves that create a beautiful lacy effect and long stems topped with elegant blue-violet flowers that emerge in layers from scaly, elongated buds. This first-year flowering perennial is easy to grow from seed and has a bushy habit, blooming throughout the summer. The foliage of this Fernleaf Lavender is very aromatic with a hint of oregano and highly attractive to butterflies and other insects. Ideal for the garden and in pots, in a sunny location. In winter, they should be kept quite dry and may need some leaf cover or fleece during frost.

Names:
Latin: Lavandula multifida
Dutch: Varenbladlavendel
English: Fernleaf Lavender

Sowing method: For annual cultivation, start pre-sowing in March-April and plant outdoors from May. For perennial cultivation, you have more time: April-July. First, sow in a warm spot; many seeds will germinate. If there's little or no germination after 4 weeks, give the sowing a cold period (refrigerator) of 2-4 weeks. Germination should follow once it's warm again; otherwise, repeat the cooling process.
