- Propagation by Seeds
- Selection of the right seed with high viability is the best way to grow lavender.
- November or early March is the time of sowing seeds in the bed. Planting rows are at a distance of 35-40 cm in the large area and 15-20 cm in the small area of the bed.
- Mid to late September is the best time to transfer seedlings to the main soil.

- Propagation by Cuttings
- Cuttings are done in a greenhouse or open air.
- Greenhouse cuttings: In this method, young side shoots are cut to a certain size and planted in the greenhouse. When the cuttings root in early spring, they are transferred to the main soil.
- Open-air cuttings: The cuttings are separated from the plants from November to March, after which they are transferred to soil with nutrients and organic matter. The cuttings are 3 to 5 cm far from each other in rows at a distance of 35-40 cm. When the cuttings are placed in grooves, 5-7 cm of the shoots should remain out of the soil.
- The grooves should be uniform to prevent water accumulation.
- The rooted cuttings are transferred to the main soil in autumn.
