What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Bring timeless fragrance and beauty to small spaces with Munstead English Lavender Seeds (Lavandula angustifolia) — a beloved heirloom variety prized for its compact form, sweet aroma, and early blooms. This dwarf perennial lavender delivers the same charm and resilience as larger varieties, perfectly scaled for containers, patios, and cozy garden borders.

Perfect for Containers and Gifts:
Growing just 12–18 inches tall, Munstead Lavender is ideal for gardeners short on space or seeking a fragrant accent for pots and window boxes. Its aromatic flowers and silvery-green leaves lend themselves beautifully to sachets, teas, baked goods, and homemade soaps — making this variety a thoughtful gift for plant lovers, cooks, and crafters alike.

Growing Munstead Lavender:
Lavender seeds germinate slowly, so patience is key. Cold stratify seeds before sowing, then plant in well-draining soil with bright light. Sprouts typically appear within 14–28 days. Once established, Munstead thrives in full sun and dry conditions, showing excellent performance in USDA Zones 5–9 with winter protection in colder regions.

Compact, Hardy, and Aromatic:
Munstead Lavender produces early violet-purple blooms from late spring through early summer. Its rounded, tidy growth habit makes it perfect for edging pathways or enhancing patio containers. Drought tolerant, deer resistant, and pollinator-friendly, this long-lived herb rewards gardeners year after year with beauty, fragrance, and versatility.

Why Customers Love Munstead Lavender:

  • Compact, early-blooming English lavender variety
  • Perfect for containers, patios, and small garden spaces
  • Edible and aromatic flowers for teas, baking, and crafts
  • Hardy perennial that attracts bees and butterflies
  • Low-maintenance and drought tolerant once established

How to Grow Munstead Lavender:

  • Stratify: Chill seeds in a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag for 3–4 weeks before planting.
  • Sow: Press lightly into well-draining soil, keeping surface moisture even.
  • Light: Provide bright light or grow under lamps until seedlings appear in 2–4 weeks.
  • Transplant: Move outdoors after frost into full sun and sandy, well-drained soil.
  • Care: Water sparingly and prune lightly after bloom to encourage compact growth.
