Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia), Lavender Fragrance
Nothing is more charming than the perfume from Lavender (Lavandula) when brushing the flowers as you pass! Native to the Mediterranean area, Lavender was already used by the Romans to perfume their baths (Lavender derives from “lavare” in Latin, meaning “to be washed”) and even by the Egyptians who covered their bodies with the perfume of Lavender unguents.
Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) is a hybrid plant, a cross between true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia). It exhibits the best qualities of both its parents and is adored for its vigorous growth, larger blooms, and intense fragrance.
With its fantastic aroma, striking flowers, and resilience, lavandin is a superb choice for any garden, offering beauty, fragrance, and versatility.
