LAVENDER

Lavender (Lavandula vera) is a hardy perennial evergreen herb of the family Labiatae. It has been valued for many years for its fragrant flowers which retain their fragrance for a long time if carefully gathered and dried. It has ever-grey leaves, narrow and entire, and in summer bears interrupted spikes of bluish labiate flowers arranged in whorls.
