It's known for its fragrant leaves and attractive flowers, making it a popular choice in herb gardens. Lavender plants are cultivated for their essential oils, which are used in various products for their scent. The dried flowers are traditionally used in sachets to scent clothes and the Romans used lavender in their baths. Lavender also has culinary uses and is used in herbal medicine. The plant features small evergreen shrubs with gray-green leaves and purple flowers arranged on spikes. The fragrance comes from oil glands amid tiny star-shaped hairs covering the plant.
