Requirements on climate - Active growing climate needed. - Grows best in low humidity. - Top soil should remain dry between watering. Requirements on production method - Annual Spring & Summer Production: Outdoor, or in early season, use a tunnel or a frost-free greenhouse. - Overwintered Production: Indoor in a frost-free greenhouse; possible outdoor only in the southern regions. This Scheduling tool is based on using a 288 to a 180-tray plug size and finishing in a 12-13 cm pot. For this plug range Lavandula angustifolia is multi-sown and Bandera is single-sown. Please note: Our Scheduling Tool is strictly subject to local climate & environment. The Southern Europe schedule proposal is extrapolated from American trials in different regions. Growers should use the information presented here as a starting point. The commercial crop planning and quality need to be based on grower trials in the respective locations.
