Lavandin is a natural hybrid of English lavender and broadleaved lavender.

Lavandin has longer stems than English lavender (60 - 80cm), larger flowery spikes and is characterised by its two lateral spikelets.

Origin and history

Indigenous to France and the Mediterranean basin, lavandin is mainly cultivated in the Drôme and Ardèche regions of France.
