Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) produces beautiful petite flowers that have a strong fragrance and have uses medicinally as well as in the kitchen. Lavender imparts a delicate flavor to vinaigrette salad dressings and light marinades. Lavender commonly is used as an ingredient in Herbes de Provence. Lavender is believed to be a relaxing herb and is often times brewed into tea with Chamomile. Lavender is often dried and added to wreaths or dried flower arrangements.
