Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a hardy and heavenly scented perennial. It has a beautiful color. It is revered in Provence (France) as a medicinal plant. It is also used for its scent in many body and bath products, as a tea, for home décor and accessories and so much more.
We love its scent and very fine taste as a tea. The fact that is has healing benefits makes it irresistible.
Lavender is known as a calming herb and has been used for a very long time to treat insomnia, anxiety, depression, and stress relief.
