What Is Lavandula Angustifolia?
Lavandula angustifolia is most commonly referred to as English lavender. It is not believed to have originated there, however, but is so called because its oil was a major business in England in the 18th century. The plant is believed to be native to the Mediterranean region, Russia, and Africa. It is used for landscaping, potpourri, and health and beauty products. There are many types of lavender. Lavandula angustifolia is typically the most common. This plant tends to grow in upright clumps, with narrow leaves and barrel shaped flower heads that blossom in the summer. It usually grows best with full sun exposure. It can also do well with partial sun exposure, but it does not generally produce impressive results in the shade.
