Lavandin is a hybrid plant between asp lavender and fine lavender, but it should not be confused with the latter, as it contains more camphor and cineole, almost non-existent in fine lavender. Produced in France in Valensole, it grows below 800m altitude and its stems have several flowers at their top. Lavandin essential oil has similar properties with its two “parent” species.
