You can grow a lavender flower sea at home too. It does not matter if you cannot go to Provence.

Provence is a very beautiful place, and it is also the world-famous kingdom of lavender. Actually, I had heard the name Provence as early as elementary school. Of course, it was not my teacher who mentioned to me which places in the world are worth visiting, but because when I was in elementary school I especially loved collecting notebooks with pretty covers. As a place with beautiful scenery, Provence naturally often appeared on those covers. And at that time, there were quite a lot of notebooks in the Provence series, and you could often see large stretches of lavender flower seas printed on the covers.

Just think about it: when you are exhausted from doing homework, taking one look at beautiful Provence is, in a way, a kind of enjoyment for the soul. But Provence is abroad. Even now that I am in university and have a lot of free time that I can arrange myself, I still do not have the energy, the opportunity, or the disposable money to take a romantic lavender trip to Provence. Although Provence has indeed always been part of my travel plans, even now I still have not been able to realize this dream. So not being able to go to Provence is truly a regret for us lavender lovers. But that does not mean that if we cannot go to Provence, we have no connection with lavender at all.

1. Where is lavender generally distributed in large amounts in our country? Based on my own experience, lavender is distributed in large amounts in the Yunnan region. Why do I say that? This really is my personal experience. During a very long holiday in the past, that is, after the college entrance examination, my family and I traveled to Yunnan. Right there, there was an essential oil production base, and it had fields of lavender flower seas. I have to say, a lavender flower sea really is very beautiful.

Although when I went, it was not the lavender viewing season, so I forget whether the lavender had bloomed, and it was not especially lush either. I did not see the kind of sweeping purple that Provence has, but when I walked into the lavender bushes, the strong, distinctive fragrance of lavender rushed to my nose. Even though at that time I had not been to Provence, it felt as if I had already arrived in the paradise of Provence. The scent of lavender really is hard to forget once you have smelled it.

2. What uses does lavender have? Actually, after smelling the fragrance of lavender, most people can probably guess that lavender can be used as a raw material for perfume, and this scent of its is indeed loved by many people, so it has great development value. Of course, besides being a raw material for perfume, lavender is also a raw material for essential oil.

This is because lavender can purify pores and also soothe the mind. So when used as essential oil, it can not only have a beauty effect, but also calm people down. At my home there is only one bottle of lavender essential oil like this, because its scent is so pleasant that I have always been reluctant to use it.

3. If we really cannot go to Provence, can we grow a lavender flower sea at home? Of course we can. Lavender is not some especially rare plant; in fact, it is fairly easy to grow. However, some netizens have summed up one point to pay attention to when growing lavender: when we usually water plants, we may not pay much attention to the timing, right? But for lavender, the best time to water is early in the morning when there is no strong sun.
