Lavandula Angustifolia (English Lavender) 

English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is the most popular type of lavender. English Lavender has a strong and pure floral lavender scent that makes it the preferred type in culinary uses and as essential oil and other scented products like wreaths and lavender wands. 

"Only some lavenders are suitable for culinary purposes, e.g. for making biscuits, cakes, ice cream and flavored icing sugar. Two examples are Lavandula angustifolia ‘Avice Hill’ and the true form of Lavandula angustifolia ‘Munstead’.” - Excerpt from Lavender: The Grower’s Guide, by Virginia McNaughton

English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is not native to England, but has been grown there in herb gardens for centuries.  English Lavender is native to high-altitude areas in the South of France, as well as parts of Spain and Italy. English Lavender is extensively cultivated in the famous lavender fields of Provence, France.  English Lavender is also the most cold-hardy type of lavender, with a growing range of Zones 5-9.
