Did You Know? Lavandin Super is a popular hybrid, similar to Grosso but with some differences in aroma and composition. It produces medium-sized flower spikes with a vibrant purple hue akin to Grosso. An unusual aspect of the Lavandin Super plant (Lavandula x intermedia 'Super') is that it is a sterile hybrid, meaning it does not produce viable seeds. This plant is a cross between true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia), and like many hybrids, it inherits traits from both parent species but cannot reproduce through seeds. Instead, Lavandin Super is propagated through cuttings, ensuring consistency in the plant's characteristics from generation to generation. Another interesting feature is its resilience and adaptability to challenging growing conditions. Lavandin Super can thrive in rocky, poor soils and hilly terrains where other crops might struggle, making it an excellent choice for cultivation in more rugged landscapes.

Suggested Storage:

• Closed containers, below 30°C and protected from direct sunlight.

100% true to the botanical name, GMO-free; Non-radiated, Preservative-free, Vegan-friendly, Petrochemical-free

Supplier Information: Our Lavandin Super French Essential Oil is sourced from a certified organic family farm located in the picturesque Drôme Provençale region of France. Unlike the expansive, flat fields of the more famous Valensole plateau, these lavender fields are often smaller, scattered across hilly and rocky terrain, which contributes to the unique character of the oil. The family-run farm is dedicated to preserving biodiversity, using no pesticides to protect the local ecosystem, which supports a thriving population of insects and other wildlife. The farm distils its own plants, ensuring the highest quality, and collaborates with local farmers through planting contracts, allowing them to diversify their crops without needing their own distillation equipment. In a further commitment to environmental sustainability, the farm has invested in an advanced evaporative cooling system for distillation, eliminating the release of hot water into the environment. This innovation helps protect the local watercourses from thermal pollution, which is a common issue in traditional distillation processes.
