The deep blue lavender flowers are obtained from the Lavandula angustifolia plant and are also called real lavender. Real lavender grows mainly in the mountains of Provence at an altitude of around 600 to 1500 meters. Lavender is characterized by its needle-shaped, gray-green leaves and the violet to blue, aromatically scented inflorescences. Provence in southern France is known for its lavender cultivation. The region offers the optimal conditions for the growth of lavender plants, as lavender grows best in sunny and dry locations on well-drained soil. The lavender flowers are harvested during the flowering period in summer.
