English Lavender

A tier

English lavender is the market name for L. angustifolia types grown for fragrance and kitchen—compact spikes, sweet floral oil, and the safest everyday culinary lavender. Despite the name, plants are Mediterranean in origin; “English” marks the hardy garden and confectionery tradition. Infuse cream for ice cream, bake into shortbread, or grind with salt for lamb. Never confuse with heavily camphorous cleaning-grade spikes.
