<p class="emphasized">Lavender is native to the Old World and is found in Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, and across Europe, northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia, and India. As it has many members of the same family, many different species, it is cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants for landscape use, as a culinary herb, and also for extraction of essential oils. The most widely cultivated species is Lavandula angustifolia, the one we refer to as lavender. This one was used across centuries as traditional medicine and cosmetics.</p>
