Lavender Varieties. Lavender plants belong to the mint family. Perhaps the most common species of lavender is Lavandula angustifolia, a species that belongs to the group referred to as English lavenders. Hybrids of the Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia are called Lavandins, and these species are generally planted for ornamental use in gardens or commercially for use in cosmetics.
The countryside of southern France is legendary for its fields of lavender (Lavandula x intermedia Provence) grown for the perfume industry. In North America, lavender is a shrubby perennial grown for its flowers and fragrance, but it also serves as a landscape item for its beauty and ability to stand heat and drought. In parts of California, is it used in islands of commercial parking lots, which attests to its toughness.
