Description of the plant
Lavender is a shrub in the shape of a bush. It is part of the lamiaceae family such as white lamier, it is part of the Provencal heritage.
The stems, from 20 to 50 cm, rowing from the base, are elongated, greenish to grayish with a purplish nuance. They wear opposite, lanceolate, linear, persistent, hairy leaves.
The flowers, visible in June-July, of a pretty blue, are worn by floriferous stems, larger than tufts, in terminal epis. It is also interesting to plan the route of lavender by bike in order to fully enjoy the beauty of these fields.
To go further, Lavandin is a hybrid formed from true lavender and large lavender.
Where is lavender cultivated?
Lavender prefers well -drained floors, not too rich, and full sun. Also, the germination of the seeds can be random; You can also practice semi-aoutized cuttings in summer. The flowers are generally harvesting on the sunny summer mornings.
Difference between lavender and lavandin?
Lavandin is a natural, sterile hybrid, resulting from the cross between so -called “fine” lavender and “aspic” lavender. Lavandin therefore reproduces only by Bouturag while lavender (known as fine lavender) also reproduces by seed.
Their big distinction is found in the smell. Thus, LE Lavandin has a slightly more camper odor while true lavender has a slightly more delicate fragrance.
For the little story...
Lavandula comes from Lavare, "washing", there is common use to flavor washing water, or linen in the cabinets.
Flavor
