We would like to bring some enlightenment to the origin of this plant. It was originally purchased from another nursery, by us, labeled as "Lavandula angustifolia from the perfume fields of France".

Along came another rumour that we had originally stolen and smuggled this plant back from the fields of France. Unfortunately, we've never actually been to France.
