Vera Lavender, Culinary & Medicinal Herbs

Vera Lavender, the original species of English lavender, has fragrant flowers that dry well and have neat, bushy growth. It is also one of the hardest of all lavenders. Originally growing wild in the mountains of the Mediterranean region, lavender is one of the most versatile of herbs; in addition to its myriad medicinal uses, it is commonly used for cosmetic, aromatherapy, culinary, and decorative purposes. In ancient Egypt, it was used as a perfume and an ingredient in incense, while the Greeks and Romans scented their bathwater with its fragrant petals. In medieval times, lavender protected sickrooms from insects and infection and was an ingredient in smelling salts. Today, there are about 20 main species of lavender with hundreds of variations; countries worldwide produce lavender commercially, primarily for use in essential oil oils for decorative purposes. Lavender will flower through the mid-summer months, attracting all sorts of beneficial insects to the garden, such as butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees, and hummingbirds
