- This by far is the easiest method to germinate Lavender seeds. In the past, I was never successful with germinating Lavender seeds, regardless of how many packs I purchased. I can't wait to grow more and transfer to pots soon!

UPDATE..I put my seeds in water on the 9th, sprinkled into “dents” of seedling mix on the 13th, placed clear plastic covered on top and placed on a heating mat..today is the 18th and I have sprouts!! I have never had my lavender seeds sprouts!! Thank You SO much!!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad it worked out for you!
Are you still around "learning urban homesteading "? This is Jan.10th 2024. I'm trying it your way. The dollar tree has these same seeds 2024. I wonder how your lavender is doing. I hope it's doing fine. I loved your video. ❤ thanks Ladykat
@@LADYKAT... I was so proud of my lavender. Then went on vacation and the person watching my house forgot about water the plants. I’m in the south, they were burned to a crisp. 😩
I’ll try again this year.
I came here for lavender advice and I’m leaving in tears young lady! I appreciate you so much for this word! I receive this! Amen
Thanks for sharing.
So inspired💗
Same here
Thank you, beautiful words ❤
Me too!
Me three. Go girl! That was the Holy Spirit showing you not only the bag method but also a witnessing method. Who’d of thought that by looking for a way to germinate lavender seeds I also had my soul fed. God bless you and keep doing what your doing cause it’s working (both the Godly encouragement and the gardening advice) ❤
THANK YOU! I have been trying to grow lavender from seeds for 4 years unsuccessfully and I did it your way and now I have 3 pots full!! Thanks for sharing this whole video! It really helped me a lot! 💖🙏🤗🌹
I didn't know people put lavender seeds in the freezer until I started watching videos, I just put mine in soil and they grew. I am going to use this next time for all my seeds. ty
OH MY..this gives me HOPE FOR Lavender germination and faith on other levels. Thank you!
Came here looking for tips on growing my Dollar Tree True Lavender seeds I bought yesterday.... walking away with life advice and inspiration! 💜
Such good encouragement, not only gardening-wise, but spiritually.
I plan to try starting a garden this year to help support my family and to learn new skills I was never taught so that I can teach them to my baby as she grows. Please pray God would bless the fruit of my hands for His glory and our good.
God bless you, sister!
@backyardgrocerygarden
Thank you so much for praying! The Lord has encouraged me SO well, and at the perfect time. I am so excited to say that, even after dropping my growing container on the floor and having to sweep everything back in 🤦♀️ I have TWO lavender sprouts! They're Itty-bitty yet (just discovered them today), but man, my heart was so blessed to see them. Good reminders that: 1. All things that succeed in life are the Lord's doing, not mine (yet even if they hadn't or don't make it, He is still faithful) and 2. If He wants it to grow, even dumping it won't stop God's hand! 🤣
Thank you again, sister! God bless you!
Thank you for being so bold about your faith in Jesus! Such a blessing to hear like minded believers sharing their faith! Blessings to you!
My first thought too ! Love that ! 🖤💜💙
I'm not big on commenting but I knew I was interested when you started with scripture. Thank you for being a blessing! You sharing this video is allowing me to receive the message that He has been giving me through others lately "seek Him" and "have patience". I just purchased some lavender seeds and I know that my growing season timeline is all off but I'm excited for what may come about regardless. I brought 600 seeds so if these dont work out I'll have a few more to try lol Thank you for sharing your message about the lavender seeds but more importantly to me seeking Him, having patience and giving myself grace. Bless you!
Now let me go and subscribe and see what other messages you may have for me to receive today ☺️
Same here. I came here looking for advice on growing lavender and I’m leaving in tears. I just starting growing and it’s a beautiful learning process. I just found out something painful a few days ago and look how I stumbled across your video today, I needed to hear that thank you
I referred back to your video one year later to make sure I did the correct steps for the lavender soaking and your message about God touched me again. Thank you!
I am sooo impatient and have done myself dirty so many times at that expense. Things didn’t fall into place until I put my life in God’s hands. Everything in God’s time worked out. I’ve struggled with lavender for the last few months. I’m going to try this! Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your journey!!! So many of us have been there. I do hope the plans God has for you exceeds your expectation and washes away all the dirty times. And you're welcome! I hope it makes a difference.
Did u try it?
Anyone that’s starts a video with the Word of God gets my full attention. I’ve already put my seeds in the fridge for a month. I will try this next time. Thanks!.......... Had not finished the video when I made that comment. All I can say is Wow! I’m in the middle of a mess. I have wanted to grow food for so long but my house has trees everywhere with lots of shade. I have half an acre with a lake at the bottom of it so there are lots of animals in my yard. The voles and moles live underground so I can’t really plant anything. I don’t want to plant anything because both neighbors use chemicals on their lawn and I don’t want it in my food. So I just started planting seeds in little pots. When I say seeds I mean hundreds. I saw a lady on YT that sits totes up on chairs in her yard and that seemed to be the answer except if you sit in a chair in my yard because of all the tunnels underneath, the legs may sink down 6 inches. So I have all these tiny plants and have not a clue how I’m going to keep them off the ground and away from the rabbits and armadillos and possums and deer. I was thinking of giving up just yesterday. But He knows the answer. I just need patience to wait on His answer. Thank you so much for your godly advice. It was just what I needed to hear. God bless you!
This post is two years old but right on time! I was searching for an instructional video on RUclips because I'm thinking of growing lavender and your video came up in my search. Thank you for your wonderful tips on growing lavender...but THANK YOU more for the inspirational message that truly touched my heart!
You're very welcome!
I came for lavender but apparently needed the motivation. Thanks for the pep talk!
Thank you! Just started sowing. This was the only seed that barely broke the ground. So this was encouraging to know that it's a common problem. Thank u for the insight and kind words.
THANK YOU!!! I just stratified my seeds or whatever that's called, and im so happy i saved some seeds just in case! ❤ ill keep my fridge seeds and do another batch with this method
Omg this worked! They germinated in the water
Lol... I am SO glad to hear it worked!!!
Thanks for your video, I've just found out my family throw my lavender seeds away that I've put in the fridge for nearly 40 days. I'm really really sad and felt much disappointed 😢, and now your video popped up now, give me some courage to try again. Thanks for this lovely vibe you spread.
Thank you so much for sharing this information, I watched your video less than 2 weeks ago, right away put the seeds in water, after 5 days planted them and this morning I have a little plant 🌱, yay! This REALLY works!
God bless🙏🏻
I’m in tears! Thank you for this post and the encouragement to keep trying
Amazing video. I started planting lavender for the first time this year and wanted some simple advice. I saw videos about freezing the seeds, putting them in a fridge and all sorts. To me, that was too much for such gentle beings.
I decided to plant them directly in seed compost and even though only a handful germinated, I thank God that I came across your video. I kept things simple. I will plant some more seeds using your method of soaking the seeds in water for a few hours.
You are so right as I’ve never been able to get my lavender seeds to grow either.
I will definitely try it
Thanks
Mandy UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, nice lady ❤️
I tried your method after many attempts at growing lavender! Granted I had the seeds in fridge before I saw your video! I have several lavender growing! Thank you so much!! 🤗💕💕🙏🙏
For the life of me, I’ve been patiently waiting for my lavender to germinate. It was from a USDA growing kit with guarantee it would sprout. Instructions didn’t say anything about freezing nor stratifying. I planted the seeds on Christmas 2022 since that was the gift I opened from my dear friend. 3 months later and so sign or growth. I have a few seeds left so I’ll try your method!
Amen Sister, speak the Truth! So blessed to have found you channel. Thank you for being a Godly Grower!
I just bought these American Seed True Lavender seeds from the Dollar Tree. Haven’t tried to grow lavender from seed before, and am grateful for your video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the germination tip and the comforting life advice! Keep up the love for those plant babies!
I felt your testimony young lady..keep going and growing!!
Thank you so much - for the gardening advice and the words for my soul. I have been desperately in need of both for quite awhile. God bless and keep you
You are very welcome Beth! May the Lord water your heart and you allow yourself to make time to soak in His presence and word. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you as well! Stay encouraged.
Thank you! I was looking for lavender advice but got Holy Spirit winsome too. Amen 🙏
I came across your video today to search for a better way to make the seeds grow. I didn’t realize that god would use to video to reach out to me answer some questions I’ve had for him. Your right, there are things in my life I need to do differently. Thank you.
Ha ur funny god
In tears here…. I just came to know something about lavenders and germination, sistaah , you’re a blessing at the right time.
Thank you for your words sister. God bless you and your garden. You gave me such encouragement.
This method works beautifully. Tried and tested.
Amen, God bless you. I'm planning to plant lavender this season especially to keep the mosquitos away this summer. Thank you for sharing also the Word!
True story! All life requires a spark of luck. I'm grateful when that happens! I can corroborate soaking versus freezer time. I stumbled on that a while ago and have had way better luck. Soak them till they show the spark. Great Gardening!
Amen!! When I saw the scripture it was an instant like not know how much more I would’ve gotten from this video. Thank u sis!! 💖God bless u
SWEET ! GOING to Try This ! THE Heating Pad ! Need That !
Thanks so much for sharing...I have Ben trying to grow lavender from seeds for several years with no success so I will be trying your method and keeping my fingers crossed
this lady words went straight to my soul. thank you.
Thank you young lady for sharing your experience and this blessing!
Omg girl!!!! Your video has everything I hoped for!!! I've been skipping through endless videos trying to find a faster way of startifying/germinating lavender seeds....I HAVE however had them in the fridge for about 3 days-ish, pulling them out now!!!!
Please let me know how it goes!!!
I love your honesty, I too am so struggling with lavender.
Wow this is amazing!!!
Even though you haven’t posted a video in two years. I’m still going to subscribe just in case you do come back. Love and God bless ❤
Thank you for subscribing! May the peace of the Lord be with you!
Thank you for this! I needed this for planting and for my marriage!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I’ve been frustrated for years trying to start lavender from seed and always failing. I now have hope because of your generous video!
God bless you, I really needed to hear these simple words of encouragement, I have surgery in two weeks & I'm scared to pieces!..Now I'm a little better, thank you!💛...On another note---I've been doing this for years with various seeds from Dollar Tree.... like morning glories, zinnia, marigolds, Etc... sometimes I soak them for hours and sometimes for days and they always turn out beautifully!!....I also tried the wet paper towel method ---but I think I like this one better, as long as you don't let them soak too long they won't fall apart...
Never tried it with lavender, but I will be doing it in the next couple days, again many thanks!💛
God bless you miss, stumbled across this video not expecting to find some inspiration from the WORD. So glad I did, I thank God for you, keep it up!
I received words of encouragement. Soooo timely. Now 20 seeds later. Gonna try soaking em. And gonna hit da book for the good word.
Queen I pray all is well with you. Bless us with another Video!
Thanks I needed this advice and encouragement. Not just with growing lavender. Thanks my little plat babies are now bagged. And I feel I found a friend.
I’m going to try what you did because I having some difficulties too and I do appreciate your video!!
Girl I HAD to subscribe ! I've been thru 3 packs of lavender seeds this spring & your vid has finally given me hope ! Thanks so much for puting this out there , I'm so glad I found your channel ! I'ma check out some more of your vids , truly appreciate this ! 🖤💜💙
Did it work??? I'm trying to grow lavender as well!
@@catharinas.miller1965 unfortunately I had to cold stratify them in the freezer for 4-6 weeks (I ended up keeping them in there the whole 6 weeks) I folded them up inside a damp paper towel in a Ziploc bag with just a tad of hydrogen peroxide in it too (peroxide helped keep the mold out , a lil bit don't hurt the seeds at all) I let the bag and everything inside it completely freeze over in the freezer for 6 weeks . When the 6 weeks was up I left everything in the bag as is and put the bag in a warm place for a week or 2 and checked it every other day or so to see if the seeds started germinating , make sure to change the paper towel if it starts molding , keep it damp and a bit of peroxide on it .. yeah it's quite the process , but that's the ONLY way I got mine to grow !!!!
I’m so glad I found your video! I got the exact same seed packs and I have had difficulty with lavender in the past. Thought for a quarter a pack, why not?! 😂 I’m going to try it your way!
You're welcome! I'm starting to suspect that it's something to do with the seeds of this plant variety in general. It's best to just use the whole seed packet. Don't try to plant a few seeds. I just tested out another brand and realized some grew, a lot didn't. So don't be afraid to use up the seeds but also have the right growing conditions. I hope this helps.
Yes.. i agree with you 100 times. This is new to me. I woud be doing it also on my future seeds plantings. Thank you very much for sharing
Just out my lavender, hollyhock, Canterbury bells, and others. They are sprouting now. Thanks for the inspirational beauty. God bless.
God bless you my Sister. May God continue to bless un abundance.
That was beautiful.
I have been growing Lavender for a long time I'm glad you had good luck with them but all you need to do Lavender is just put them on top of your soil pat them down put them on a heat mat and give them light and they will grow
Beautiful girl! Your lavender and life advice! I'm not religious but your words were still touching 😊 thank you
Thank you so much! You have given me the inspiration to try growing some white lavender that I will grow from seeds. God bless you!
Thank you so much. Just took my seeds from the fridge. Excited to try your method. I live in sunny Jamaica
You're welcome. Ahhh... Jamaica... the perfect temperature to grow year round... Keep in mind, the type of lavender might also make a huge difference. I had never grown this variety before. I learned that watching a video yesterday.
You should check it out: ruclips.net/video/h000lWfoNhg/видео.html
Just in case you run into any issues.
Beautiful soul, beautifully said about it all, it is SO TRUTH all that you said, thank you for sharing, it is a really patient game, this is my first time planting any sort of seed at all, but after this video girl, I am more confident than before I decide to try to do some gardening, etc.
By far the most helpful video, I’m trying it now. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I tried growing lavender for the first time knowing nothing about it. I watched some RUclips videos and learned it was tough to start. So I tried 3 different methods including this one. 1. Just stick it in the dirt and water. 2. This method. 3. Wet paper towel in fridge. The method in this video is the only one to have worked so far and super quickly! I think it was about 1 week or a bit more. The other methods are supposed to have worked by next week or a bit after. We shall see! Thank you again!
Wow! You’re welcome!
Wow, God just used this year old video to speak to me !
I literally just got off the phone with a neighbor friend who is a Godly man, I had made the comment that nothing ever works, nothing goes right but that’s just the way my life is. My complaining started with me telling him my new pressure washer didn’t work last summer so I guess I have to get another one this summer, the liner from the back of my car is on the deck railing with 1/2 gallon of raw milk spilled on it 🙄 and that pressure washer was to wash that deck so I could stain it last summer….it didn’t happen 😏
And it just goes on and on….sometimes I feel God is just getting a good laugh watching me struggle !
Thank you for this message, although I’m defeated I know God loves me, he is the only one who has ❤️
Blessings
Such a good word at the end! Thank you for the tips! Bless you!
I came here for plant advice and left with a new perspective of life.
This is an absolutely amazing video. Thank you for incorporating the Word into your video. Very timely message.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the encouragement. I needed to hear that.
You are so welcome
Glad I come across this video.. I love trying to grow lavender but each time they dry out b4 I can enjoy them.
Awww thank you for the inspirational pep talk!!!! So inspiring! I'm gonna try this method :)
Hi Keroleena, You are so welcome! I do hope it works for you!
Thank you for this advice! I'm ready to give it a go! And YES! Thank you for the scripture. God and gardening give me peace. 🌻❤️
Wonderful word! I try growing almost everything I come across in the kitchen. Sometimes I'm successful, but I garden bc I feel such a connection to The Creator. It is absolutely amazing to watch a little seed manifest into something so beautiful & nurishing. Thank you for such a beautiful message. My The Heavenly Father bless you with abundant joy.
Thank you Sharon! May the Lord Bless you as well!
I try your method and it works perfectly thank you very much for your advice
Nice ideas.
I like the way U think.
THANK U.
You had me with the scripture in the beginning of the video🥰I'm new to gardening, and God has really turned my black thumb, green🙌🏼 I'm excited to start growing. I bought these dollar tree seeds and a greenhouse tray from there as well, my seeds germinated after a few days. I prayed over these seeds yall😅 the first time I tried. Nothing worked. Happy to see someone else is going to the Lord for help. I'm fighting these gnats with diatomaceous earth, lol. Going to order a Butterworth plant to eat them soon. I'm over it😅
😂 I feel you on the gnats!!!
Subscribed to you in all of 5 seconds because of the verse, now this incredibly helpful video! This is my 2nd time getting lavender seeds this year. We’ll see how it goes (trying multiple methods)
Love the scripture you put sister. God bless you . I been trying to grow lavender and its very difficult lol These plants are very hard to grow . i put mine in water (the seeds) and they been in there for over two weeks already . I only had ONE sprout out of many .
How did they do once you planted (inside or out)? What part of world are you in?
I’m in zone 3, up North on Canadian border.
I love your comments on Slowing Down: Thank you.
Covid and gardening has blessed me with patience.
Pray pray pray 🙏🏼
Thank you I appreciate you and your love for planting 😊😊❣️❣️
similar feelings like others have, Everyone came for information, But yes Ma'am you taught us a life lesson that keep trying until you get success and spread that success with others to help them not fall apart...Wonderful Lady. All the blessings from India. Keep Shining.
I am trying different experiments on lavender seed:
1. Currently stratifying seeds (started last 01Jul2023)
2. Soaked the seeds last 03Jul2023 and left it for >7 days, then sowed it with no heating pad. Just exposing it under the sun. No progress yet.
3. Sowed the seeds directly to the potting mix (started 03Jul2023) - no stratification, no artificial light. Placed it a few times in the window sill but has been on my shaded balcony most of the time, getting indirect sunlight. Result: SUCCESSFULLY GERMINATED!
I started experiment #3 after stumbling upon your video. And at the same time, I am being impatient because I plan to sow the stratified seeds after 40 days. AFTER 22 DAYS, I saw a tiny sprout!!! I wasn’t really expecting much on it but I have germinated it successfully!! And I was almost negligent on it, I am not checking the moisture on a daily basis, just giving it water for about every 3 or 4 days or just when I remember it. I know if I have the heating pad, it might have germinated earlier but I just thought that it is another expense. Plus, I am just new to gardening so I thought I try to let the nature do its work. By the way I am from the Philippines, and it’s currently rainy season. It’s a lengthy comment but just like to say THANK YOU for sharing this video. It has been a motivation for me to not give up on trying to grow lavender. I’ve had watched different videos and most of them have stratified their seeds. I hope my new seedling will thrive.
Hi @yeoji2759
I totally felt you on this "I just thought that it is another expense. Plus, I am just new to gardening so I thought I try to let the nature do its work." I'm glad to hear that just putting it in the ground as nature would, worked!
Lavender so easy. I soak seeds for 2 days and plant outside in pots. Worked everytime in Vancouver canada its great. Great vid tips i will try. Great channel
Thank you so much! And Thank you for sharing your experience! People need to know it works for others too!
Wow I have to put in another comment because it’s just so strange. I have a bad back, but am a doer, and a never stop person, stubborn!!!! Also struggle with faith.....
This past few weeks my back is really acting up, also I’m fed up trying lavender but thought I’d give it another go!!!
Stumbled upon your video and I swear your words just sent shivers up my spine❤️
My husbands said as he kissed me before he went to work today, REST! Heal your back take it easy!!!
So basically you just covered EVERTHING and said things I needed to hear. Thank you so very much!!!
I guess like my mother and grandma have always said ( the lord works on mysterious ways)
Well I’m starting to think they may be on to something ❤️
I had the same experience!! They germinated with in 5 days! If i listened to all these videos saying to stay away from lavender cuz its difficult but it worked for me my first time ☺
Awesome video
Thank you so much….I’m trying this❤
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much 🙏. I’m about to try this method today 😊
Gurl I tried the same way ooo I’m excited too good job Amen sister absolutely
Thank you so much for posting this. I appreciate your advice & I loved your message at the end. ❤️.
You're wonderful, fantastic video. Especially praise for the lord!
Thank you! Would love to see a video update. How’d they do when you planted them in the ground? When did you plant?
Love your enthusiasm!
Thank you! Love the video and God bless you!
Thank you so much for this video!
You're so welcome!
Thank you. I just got seeds so I'll try it.
Thank you for sharing with us❤
