Lavandin is a beautiful hybrid lavender that is powerfully soothing, deeply relaxing and plentiful. It is similar to lavender with many of the same, although not identical uses.
Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) is actually a hybrid created from true lavender (lavendula augustifolia) and spike lavender (Lavendula latifolia). Lavandin grows readily and has much higher yields than “true lavender”.
The first occurrence of this hybrid plant was found in France and was initially used exclusively for French perfumes. Lavandin has a strong but sweet lavender-like scent but is more potent aromatically, with more herbal camphor undertones.
