Lavender Overview

Vera Lavender, the original species of English lavender, features fragrant flowers that dry well and has a neat, bushy growth. It is one of the hardiest varieties of lavender, originally found in the mountains of the Mediterranean region.

Uses and Historical Significance

Lavender is known for its versatility, with myriad medicinal uses and common applications in cosmetics, aromatherapy, culinary, and decorative purposes.

In ancient Egypt, lavender was used as a perfume and an essential ingredient in incense. The Greeks and Romans scented their bathwater with its fragrant petals. During medieval times, lavender protected sickrooms from insects and infection and was an ingredient in smelling salts.

Rene Gattefosse, a pioneer in aromatherapy, discovered that applying lavender essential oil significantly improved the healing of burns. Today, there are about 20 main species of Lavandula angustifolia with hundreds of variations, and countries worldwide produce lavender commercially, primarily for essential oil and decorative uses.
