Product Abstract: The Lavender plant is a woody, evergreen shrub, up to 1m tall, with pale-green, narrow, linear leaves and violet-blue flowers. The entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star-shaped hairs that cover the plant. Lavender has been used since ancient times, and the Romans added lavender to their bath water-- hence the name from the Latin, "Lavare," which means, "To wash." Differences in soil, altitude, temperature, precipitation, and seasons contribute to subtle changes in the scent from one lot of Lavender to another.

Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.
