Lavender, scientifically known as Lavandula, is a flowering plant belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is renowned for its fragrant purple flowers and aromatic foliage. Lavender is native to the Mediterranean region, but it's now cultivated worldwide.

Roman soldiers were known to perfume their clothes and baths with lavender that grew wild in the area. In medieval Europe, it was believed to ward off evil spirits and protect against disease. They would wash their laundry with lavender and the women who did the washing were called 'lavenders'. It was often hung in homes to purify the air and promote good health. Additionally, it was associated with love and romance, and young maidens would tuck sprigs of lavender into their clothing to attract suitors.
