About the Plant:
Maillette is an elegant open bushy plant with a loose habit, although when mature its green foliage is erect with upswept branches. It grows to about 3 feet in bloom. Flower stems can be up to 18 inches long, and the slender, loose flower spikes 3 inches or more. The flowers are striking, with dark violet-blue corollas and soft dark purple calyces.
This aroma is considered to be strongly fragrant. Grown where full sun brings out the heady fragrance, and enjoy the buzz of the bees. It is a more disease resistant selection than many of the English lavenders, so is more forgiving of heavy clay soils. The oil is obtained through the steam distillation of the flowers and is harvested in July.
Where it Grows:
Lavandula angustifolia is native to the Mediterranean region. It is grown commercially and in home gardens throughout the world in Mediterranean climates, from California to Tasmania. There are many other lavenders and lavandin varieties more commonly grown in the United States, France, and England, but Lavender Maillette produces one of the highest quality essential oils. Amrita Aromatherapy is proud to have Lavender Maillette from France.
