Description

Provence Lavender is a robust, sterile hybrid lavender known for its exceptional oil production, vigorous growth, and long flower stems. It forms a large, silvery-gray bush that produces an abundance of highly fragrant, pale lilac flower spikes on tall, straight stems. As a lavender (a cross between English and Portuguese lavender), it is particularly heat and drought tolerant. It is the premier choice for commercial lavender fields, crafting large bouquets, and making potpourri or sachets where a strong scent is desired.

  • Long-Stemmed, Fragrant Flowers: Produces tall, straight stems topped with fragrant spikes, making it ideal for cutting and drying.

  • High Essential Oil Yield: Cultivated extensively for its high-quality and abundant aromatic oil.

  • Vigorous and Large Growing: Forms a substantial shrub, larger than most English lavenders, quickly filling space.

  • Excellent Heat and Drought Resistance: A tough plant well-suited to hot, dry summers.

  • Sterile Hybrid: Does not produce viable seed, so it directs more energy into lush foliage and prolific flowering.

Faqs

Q: Is Provence lavender edible?A: While not toxic, lavandin oils have a higher camphor content than English lavender.
