Lavandula x intermedia, commonly referred to as Lavandin, is a hybrid lavender variety born from the cross between Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia. This hybrid species boasts both ornamental and commercial benefits, which have led to its widespread cultivation around the world.

Lavandin (Lavandula x Intermedia) is a popular hybrid lavender combining the cold-hardiness of the English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the heat tolerance of the Portuguese lavender (Lavandula latifolia), therefore providing an answer to the gardeners’ worldwide quest for a Provencal atmosphere in their gardens.

These lavenders are a cross (Hybrid) between Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia. This is where the name intermedia comes from as in between. They are typically much larger and more robust in growth than L. angustifolia, often reaching over 4ft in height and width.
