Better known as English lavender or true lavender, is a perennial herb plant.

The leaves are narrow, oblong, and usually 2.5 to 5 cm long. They are silvery-green and covered with fine hairs, giving them a slightly downy texture. The small, tubular flowers are typically lavender-blue. These flowers grow in dense, spike-like clusters at the ends of long stems.

Known for its sweet, floral, and slightly spicy scent, which is more refined than that of other lavender varieties. The essential oil extracted from the flowers is highly prized in aromatherapy.
