Lavandula angustifolia, formerly L. officinalis, is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean (Spain, France, Italy, Croatia etc.).Its common names include lavender, true lavender and English lavender [2] (though it is not native to England); also garden lavender, [3] common lavender and narrow-leaved lavender.
In its native habitat, lavender grows in sandy, rocky soils, so make sure the spot you choose has good drainage and no standing water, or plant lavender in pots with drainage holes in the bottom.
Lavenders flourish best in dry, well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils in full sun. [23] English lavender has a long germination process (14–28 days) and matures within 100–110 days. [24] All types need little or no fertilizer and good air circulation. In areas of high humidity, root rot due to fungus infection can be a problem.
Lavandula latifolia is a strongly aromatic shrub growing to 30–80 cm tall. The leaves are evergreen, 3–6 cm long and 5–8 mm broad. The leaves are evergreen, 3–6 cm long and 5–8 mm broad. The flowers are pale lilac, produced on spikes 2–5 cm long at the top of slender, leafless stems 20–50 cm long.
The leaves grow opposite each other on the stem and appear to grow in bunches. When the leaves are rubbed, oils give off a fragrance similar to rosemary. These oils are used for scenting soaps. The 25 mm (1 in) long, pale lavender flowers grow on short inflorescences, blooming for about one month in late spring and early summer.
