Lavender is a fragrant plant, edible flowers, and used in soaps, and tea, and so much more. We love it because they honeybees collect some nectar from it. We are saving seeds from our plants today and I am going to show you just how easy it is to save lavender seed!

Thank you for the video !
What do you suggest for lavender leaves? Is there something to do with it like some sachet? Do we wait at the end of automn too before harvesting them? Thanks :)

Just curious. What is that red thing behind you? I have seen it in a lot of your videos.

Just love all these "quick" seed saving videos, Luke. Thanks for sharing.

I just read in one of our seed saving books (for lack of videos) and it said to wait until the flowers were beginning to turn brown but some purple left on is fine. Pick the flowers and bring inside to dry. Once dry, harvest the seed as you show here. This is what I've been doing and my seeds look just like yours ... so hopefully it does not matter with seed maturity whether you pick the flowers as I have done / said here or let them totally dry on the plant before picking. Maybe I'll just let the rest dry on the plant and compare the germination results next spring.

Thanks for sharing Luke. Best wishes Bob.

That's really cool, those seeds definitely hide well :-)

Thanks for all your seed saving videos. I've been gardening for over 30 years and was never much into seed savings. I always thought it would be more work than it was worth. But this year I've started saving seeds, in part by your tips and trick.

Also, I think it speaks volumes about your character and view on gardening that you are so willing to share your seed saving knowledge even though you are in the seed selling business. Can't wait to grow my Orange Roussillini's next spring.

Thank you so much. I started saving seeds this year for the first time. Do you know if saving mint seeds is similar to lavender? I have a ton of mint that I'll be digging up while renovating the garden and I'd love to plant some next season.

Wow thanks for the advice!

There are hundreds of channels showing how to start lavender seed, but after doing some searching found out that there are almost none showing how to save the seed!

Love these videos!!! Thank you so much!!!
