Lavender – the symbol of Provence – has a herbal scent and a pretty purple colour. This flower has been enjoyed for centuries thanks to its ornamental, therapeutic and cosmetic properties.
Lavender, sometimes called fine lavender or true lavender, is a small hardy shrub between 20 and 70 cm tall.
The Lavandula genus is in the Lamiaceae family (previously Labiatae). It includes several species of aromatic evergreen bushes or shrubs native to dry, sunny, rocky areas. The name Lavandula comes from the Latin word lavare, which means “to wash”. This is a reference to ancient uses of this plant in bath salts, ointments and perfumes.
Lavender flowers are a pale or purplish blue. They are harvested in the summer, at the end of flowering, when their petals start to wilt. Today, two main types of lavender are used: “true” lavender and lavandin.
