Lavender

Lavender is a perennial shrub that overwinters and is resistant to frost. It grows to a height of 60-90 cm.

Lavender is used to obtain high-quality essential oil. Broad-leaved lavender is added to cleaning products because it is effective against bacteria and fungi.

Lavender has an angular, green stem that becomes woody in its second year. The leaves are gray-green, narrow, and have a strong scent when crushed. Dried flowers retain their scent for a long time. The seeds from the faded flowers are small and dark brown.

In aromatherapy, lavender is mainly used for its calming and antiseptic effects. Today, lavender is still very popular. In the past, its flowers were scattered on the floor to make the house smell better and repel insects. Today, cloth bags are filled with lavender flowers and placed in the dresser. It is recommended for depressive moods, headaches, stress, general physical exhaustion, and stress. It also helps with bruises and insect bites. For a good night's sleep, we can put one drop of lavender oil on our pillow. Lavender should not be used by diabetics who inject insulin. Candied lavender flowers are used to decorate cakes and desserts. Fresh flowers soften ice cream. Lavender looks beautiful in a bouquet of dried flowers. In the garden, it creates decorative borders for flower beds.

Lavender requires a sunny and open location, light, sandy, calcareous soil that drains well. Replace old plants with new ones every three to four years.
