About this genus:

Lavandula (La-van-du-la) is a genus of 40 wild species plus a dozen or more hybrids and hundreds of named cultivars that are in the mint family. Lavender's claim to fame is the intoxicating aroma of the leaves and flower buds. The name Lavandula is derived from the Latin word lavar for to wash because the ancient Greeks washed themselves with lavender oil to clean themselves and to smell fresh. Although the Greeks called Lavandual Nardus, after the Syrian city of Naarda!

Plants in the genus Lavandula are native from southern Europe into Africa and east from the Arabian penninsula all the way to India, but it has been cultivated by humans all over the world since ancient times. During Roman times, flowers were sold for 100 denarii per pound, which was about the same as a month's wages for a farm laborer, or fifty haircuts from the local barber. One whiff of the essential oils of a lavender plant (called lavandulin) and you will understand why it is so sought after! The odor is pleasant, relaxing, and is thought to cure headaches, help sleeping, and repel mosquitos. In addition, lavender oil is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Because of this, lavender oil can be found in thousands of products from soaps to perfumes, skin creams, potpourri, air fresheners, aromatherapy pillows, sachets and a myriad of other scented goodies. Lavender oil is also added to syrup, cheese, milk, baked goods, tea, desserts and is a component of the herbes de Provence herb blend used in gourmet cooking. Although all Lavandula species are pleasantly fragrant, it is English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) that is considered to have the best scent.

Lavender also refers to a colour...a pale blue-purple shade. Like the scent, the colour is associated with relaxation and is very popular in clothing, interior decorating, and paints/dyes. It is worth noting, though, that some Lavandula flowers deviate from this hue and can be pink, blue, purple or white.

If that weren't enough, Lavandula is a fantastic ornamental plant often featuring attractive silvery leaves (due to the fine hairs that contain the essential oils). Lavandula flowers are small but are produced in dense clusters (inflorescences) on the tips of the flower stalk. Not only are these flowers beautiful, but they attract bees and butterflies. They are very drought tolerate and prefer sunny well drained sites. So, it is funny to find some of them so well in our over-cast, wet clay garden! We've found a few cultivars that do quite well, and they are for sale here.

Be careful when looking at photos of Lavandula in garden books - in reality Lavanadula tend to get quite woody after a while. If you aren't growing them for the fragrance or a specific look may we suggest Nepeta instead? It looks almost identical, It won't go woody, and tolerates the wet much more!

Try pairing Lavandula with other fragrant plants like Buddleia, Dianthus, Nepeta, or other silver-leaved or dark-leaved plants like Achillea, Euphorbia or Sedum. Also, I think they pair well with Rosa!

Instantly Loved by my Mini Aussie!
I wondered how long before my sharp-toothed mini-Aussie completely destroyed this cute duck toy. It was a Christmas present that he loved instantly. He plays with it everyday and it hasn't shown any tears or loose threads as he has destroyed other supposedly "tough" toys. Was happy the "quack" is audible but not annoying. Perfect. In a short time it became his favorite toy.

Cute fun toy
Style: Squirrel, Style: Squirrel
My pup doesn’t play with toys, she’s food driven but she absolutely loves this. The plush squirrels are just toys, but she goes after them like they’re treats. She chews and tosses them around once she gets one out. They haven’t torn, and it’s been a week so far. The quality of the tree and plush toys are higher than other burrow toys she has. It comes with 4 which is better than the typical 3. She’s small and though it doesn’t seem to be more difficult because the toys are bigger, she’s satisfied after getting only 2 out. Worth the little extra money.

My dogs love this toy!
Style: Rabbit
My small dogs Love this toy. They each bring me bunnies all day long. One bunny already has a little tear in it but easy to stitch. I'll see how long the toy lasts. So far it keeps them happy & busy.

Sturdy, cute and practical.
Style: Squirrel
These are so cute and practical. I have 2 mini schnauzer puppies and they are addicted to this play. It comes with 5 squirrels. They dig and smush into the holes in the tree to get the squirrels out. I throw them around and they play and then I put all the squirrels back in the tree. Again, they go right back to the process of smushing and digging around to get them back out. ALL the squirrels squeak! Excellent item, very sturdy tree and the squirrels can withstand quite a bit of aggressive play. (I've had to sew them a couple times)

Durable and adorable
Style: Turtle
Big dogs need love too. My boy is a Lab/Pyrenees mix and he carries his babies around everywhere. He is so gentle with them. He loves to get them out of their house, and keeps him busy mentally and physically. They are definitely indoor toys, but I would highly recommend these if you have a fur baby that gets a favorite toy and cares for the special toys for a long time. The only down side is the external stuffed “house” rips apart so we are left with the little bunnies, squirrels and turtles without their homes.
