These Lavendula Intermedia varieties have yields 10 times greater than other varieties.

Lavandula Intermedia is commonly known as lavandin. Lavandin is the name for a variety of lavender that comes from a cross of English and spike lavender. Many of these varieties are highly recommended for producing commercial oil and dried bundles. It is also a very popular garden plant because the oil is of lesser quality that (Angustifolias) due to the presence of high camphor, a white transparent waxy crystalline solid with a pungent odor. The yields from these Lavendula Intermedia varieties are up to 10 times more than other varieties. In addition, lavandins are very hardy with a flowering period from early July to late August.
