The Czech lavender blooming season is short — typically from mid-June to the end of July — so it's worth planning your trip in advance and checking the farms' websites for up-to-date opening hours, since weather and harvest timing can shift the peak bloom slightly each year. Whichever field you choose — the vast South Moravian expanse in Starovičky or the intimate garden near Dubá — the purple sea and scent of lavender will bring a little piece of Provence right here in Czechia.
