{"product_id":"spanish-lavender","title":"Spanish Lavender","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpanish Lavender is a highly aromatic shrub, easily recognised by the showy butterfly-wing bracts that sit atop its deep-purple flower heads. More compact and drought-tolerant than common lavender, it's a lovely choice for warmer New Zealand gardens after year-round fragrance and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePlant a row along a path or border and you'll be rewarded every time you brush past, releasing that unmistakable lavender scent into the air. The flowers put on a long display and are constantly visited by bees, making this a rewarding addition to any pollinator-friendly garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs a hardy perennial, Spanish Lavender settles in and flowers for years once established, reaching around 60cm in height. Being more heat and drought tolerant than English lavender, it particularly flourishes in the warmer regions of the country, though it still needs free-draining soil to do its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSowing Spanish Lavender\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpanish Lavender seed benefits from stratification, so chill it in the fridge for four weeks before sowing to help break dormancy. Because it needs light to germinate, surface sow onto a free-draining seed mix and press it gently into the surface rather than covering it. Sow between September and November at a soil temperature of 18-24°C, with germination typically taking 14-21 days. Plants reach flowering maturity around 180 days after transplanting.\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"100 seeds","offer_id":49190704152884,"sku":"H3099.pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5 gram","offer_id":49190704185652,"sku":"H3099.0.5grW","price":27.3,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 gram","offer_id":49190704218420,"sku":"H3099.1grW","price":49.1,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 grams","offer_id":49190704251188,"sku":"H3099.2.5grW","price":104.45,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 grams","offer_id":49190704283956,"sku":"H3099.5grW","price":167.05,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/H3099-W.png?v=1784023145","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/spanish-lavender","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
