Dried Lavender Sprigs

Lavandula angustifolia

Lavender is a shrub-like plant that’s a member of the mint family. There are as many as 30 different species, and they grow on stems up to 19 in. (50 cm) high with flowering tops that can measure up to 11.5 in. (30 cm). The violet flowers are picked as soon as they begin to open, and are then used fresh, distilled for oil, or dried for use in infusions and tinctures — or simply for decoration.

Lavender is naturally calming and soothing. It balances the skin and scalp and relaxes sore muscles. The flowers release a beautiful fragrance that quiets the mind and promotes restful sleep.
