Product Abstract: The Lavender plant is a woody evergreen shrub, up to 1m tall, with pale green, narrow linear leaves and violet blue flowers. The entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star shaped hairs that cover the plant. Lavender has been used since ancient times, and the Romans added lavender to their bath water, hence the name from the Latin lavare, “to wash.” Differences in soil, altitude, and temperature, precipitation and seasons contribute to subtle changes in the scent from one lot of Lavender to another.
