Origin & Lore
Lavandula angustifolia is a small, silver-leaved shrub native to the mountains of the western Mediterranean. For centuries its flowers scented linen chests, wash water and sickrooms.
It was traditionally used in herb pillows and teas for rest.
In older English a laundress was called a lavender, and linen was spread over lavender bushes to dry so it came back sweet.
The name reaches English through medieval Latin lavandula, often linked to lavare, to wash, though the true root is debated.
Tudor households strewed lavender on floors and laid it among clothes, and herbals of magick list it under Mercury for love, peace and purification.
Did You Know?
Despite its common name, English lavender is not native to England: it comes from the Mediterranean.
