Common lavender seeds (Lavandula angustifolia)

The common lavender is grown on a large scale in the South of France due to its aromatic components. Lavender can reach heights of up to 150 cm in the garden. Its leaves are dull gray and the blue flowers are extremely fragrant, so their use in the kitchen is very unusual. The main flowering period is from June to August. The color of the flowers that attract bees and bumblebees varies greatly in different shades of blue and types of flowers. To produce the maximum scent lavender needs to be in a warm, sunny place. Lavender originally comes from the Mediterranean area, but now it has spread throughout southern Europe. Its name comes from the Latin verb wash (clean) and this indicates its use in ancient times as a bath essence.
