Lavish Lavender

Lavender is a beautiful purple floral plant which is best planted in April & May. It needs full sun exposure and best planted in a large pot as it grows and spreads fast.
Where it comes from… 

Lavender is know best for its French heritage however it is now grown in vast quantities in England and Russia. It is easily grown and there is a large presence of lavender growing wild in the French mountains.

Why we love Lavender…Mostly because of the relaxing peaceful properties lavender is known for, however it has a wealth of fantastic therapeutic properties. A man called Gattefosse first discovered lavender’s vast benefits. Gattefosse badly burned his arm and a large vessel of lavender essential oil was the closest fluid near him. He soon discovered the burn healed quickly and did not scar. Lavender is great for acne, eczema, flu, colds, insomnia, sprains, strains, headaches, depression, cuts, burns, stress, stretch marks, scars to name a few.
