Lavender (Vera) Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Lavender can be tricky! Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost. It takes time to get going, so start early.
2. Preparation: Lavender loves "lean" soil. It prefers sandy, well-draining earth and full sun. Avoid heavy clay or spots where water sits.
3. Sowing: Barely cover the seeds (1/8 inch). They need a little light and a lot of patience to sprout.
4. Care: Do not overwater! Once established, Lavender is very drought-tolerant. Prune it back by a third every spring to keep it from getting "woody."
5. Pests and Diseases: Very few pests bother Lavender due to its strong scent. Ensure good air circulation to prevent root rot in humid climates.
