M Felix Eysseric said that he found lavender in Sweden, adapted to the bitter winter cold and probably protected by the snow. Lavandula Officinalis (in several varieties) grows wild in the south of France, in Italy, Corsica and Yugoslavia.
Lavandins are grown commercially for the production of oil of lavender. There are a number of lavandin varieties, but the most widely grown and probably the most fragrant is Grosso (Lavandula x intermedia Grosso). The flowerheads are dark blue-purple and the plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall, with gray-green leaves.
