Italian Lavender Seeds

I first discovered Northeastern Seed in October of last year when I was ordering lavender seed for a school-related project. I've really liked how they've changed their site format in the past couple of months and the new varieties of seed that they're introducing to their customers. So far the french variety of lavender seed that i've purchased has held up well. I wet stratified the seeds in a ziplock baggie with some sterile potting mix for a month in my fridge pulling em out and throwing the whole bag under a grow light. I found this to be easier as the size of the individual seedlings mixed in with a dark potting soil makes it kinda hard to pull individual seeds out. It was easier (for me at least) to leave the seeds in the bag and pull out individual seedlings with a pair of forceps once their seed coats had broken and the root cap was emerging. haven't had any issues with disease or root rot with any of the seedlings and they've actually grown quite a bit considering how slow it can be to start lavender from seed (the provided photo is about 1.5 months of growth).
