Audited Supplier | Description: Plant Lavender is a small branched, strongly aromatic, semi woody, semi evergreen perennial shrub that normally grows about 1 to 2 meters (3.3 to 6.6 ft.) tall with a short, but irregular, crooked, much-branched stem, covered with a yellowish-grey bark, which comes off in flakes, and very numerous, erect, straight, broom-like, slender, bluntly-quadrangular branches, finely pubescent, with stellate hairs.. The plant is found growing in dry grassy slopes amongst rocks, in exposed, usually parched, hot rocky situations often on calcareous soils. The plant requires well-drained light, sandy, or sandy loam, or gravelly soils in full sun. Low-fertility soils are still suitable. Too moist soils will cause poor plant growth, diseases or kill the plant. English lavenders prefer alkaline soils, whereas the lavandin varieties need slightly more acidic soils. Leaves The leaves are linear to linear-lanceolate, opposite, sessile, entire, linear, blunt; when young, white with dense stellate hairs on both surfaces; their margins strongly revolute; when full grown, 2-6 centimeters (0.79-2.36 in) long, and 4-6 millimeters (0.16-0.24 in) broad on flowering shoots, <17 × 2 mm on leafy shoots, green with scattered hairs above, smoothly or finely downy beneath, and the margins only slightly revolute. Flower Flowers are produced in terminating, blunt spikes from the young shoots, on long stems. Spikes are composed of whorls or rings of flowers, each composed of from six to ten flowers, the lower whorls more distant from one another. The flowers themselves are very shortly stalked, three to five together in the axils of rhomboidal, brown, thin, dry bracts. Calyx is tubular and ribbed, with thirteen veins, purple-grey in color, five-toothed (one tooth being longer than the others) and hairy; shining oil glands amongst the hairs are visible with a lens. The majority of the oil yielded by the flowers is contained in the glands on the calyx. The two-lipped corolla is of a beautiful bluish-violet color. Bracts are rhombic-obovate long-pointed, shorter than sepals. Sepal cup is cylindrical, 5 mm, 13-ribbed; teeth nearly equal. Flowers are 1-1.2 cm long, 13-veined, densely velvety outside, base hairless, throat and limb glandular hairy. Upper lip is straight, with lobes circular and slightly overlapping; lower lip is spreading. Health Benefits: 1.
