Lavender Flowers are whole, and sold by the ounce.
Lavender Flowers is a heavily branched short shrub that grows to a height of roughly 60 centimeters.
Its broad rootstock bears woody branches with erect, rod-like, leafy, green shoots.
A silvery down covers the gray-green narrow leaves, which are oblong and tapered, attached directly at the base, and curled spirally.
The oil in lavender's small, blue-violet flowers is what gives the herb its fragrant scent.
The flowers are arranged in spirals of 6 to 10 blossoms, forming interrupted spikes above the foliage.
