About the Plant

Lavandula angustifolia is a perennial subshrub from the mint family (Lamiaceae) and reaches a height of 30 to 60 cm. The narrow, silvery-green leaves are densely hairy on both sides and give the plant its characteristic grey-green appearance. The fragrant, violet-coloured flowers stand in dense, spike-like inflorescences on long, upright stems. The flowers contain the characteristic essential oil responsible for the unmistakable lavender scent. The plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers sunny, calcareous, well-drained soils. True lavender can be distinguished from other lavender species such as spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) by its narrower leaves and purer fragrance. 

Other names: Lavender is also known as true lavender, garden lavender, narrow-leaved lavender, English lavender or common lavender.

Habitat and harvest time: True lavender originates from the western Mediterranean region, in particular from the mountain areas of Provence, Spain and Italy. Today it is cultivated worldwide, including in Bulgaria, France and the United Kingdom. The flowers are harvested during the main flowering period between June and August, when the essential oil content is at its highest.

Historical roots: Lavender is one of the longest-cultivated medicinal plants in the western world. The Romans already used it to scent their baths and laundry, as the name derived from the Latin "lavare" (to wash) suggests. In the Middle Ages, lavender was indispensable in the monastery gardens of Europe and was cultivated extensively by Benedictine monks. Hildegard von Bingen described its use in detail. In European folk medicine, lavender has a centuries-long tradition as a remedy for restlessness, sleep disturbances and headaches.

Key active constituents:

• Essential oil (linalool, linalyl acetate): The main active constituents of lavender, held responsible for its characteristic scent and calming properties.
• Flavonoids (incl. luteolin, apigenin): Secondary plant compounds with antioxidant activity that work in combination with the essential oils.
• Rosmarinic acid: A polyphenol with antioxidant properties, also found in other members of the mint family.
• Coumarins: Secondary plant compounds that have attracted attention in traditional natural medicine.
• Tannins: Present in the flowers and contributing to the astringent properties of the plant.
• Triterpenes (incl. ursolic acid): Further secondary plant compounds identified in the lavender plant.
