Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia
The story
Though it has long been cherished under names like English lavender and garden lavender, this fragrant plant's true home lies in the sun-drenched Mediterranean basin. Over time, it traveled from the rocky soils of Spain, France, and Italy to gardens all over the world, carrying its sweet scent across borders.
