Herb seed starting tips
Starting your medicinal garden from seed is an economical way to grow lots of different herbs. With some simple seed-starting tips, you’ll find many of these herbs easy to grow.
When starting herbs from seed, it is important to follow the recommendations on the seed packet. By following the recommendations for soil temperature, cold stratifying, or scarification, you will have much better germination rates with less frustration.
So don’t skip the step of cold stratifying for your seeds that require it. We’ve tested this and found that lavender seeds germinate very well after cold stratification.
Keeping your seeds moist is vital for germination. Use a humidity dome to keep the seeds from drying out. Once they have germinated, water from the bottom to keep the soil moist and avoid damping off.
