They became known as “rough lavender” or “crossed lavender”. These were lavandins from the natural hybridization of lavender and spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) that grow at a common elevation of around 600-800m above sea level. Natural hybridization is mostly due to flower-visiting insects, especially bees cross-pollinating the plants. Being a hybrid makes the lavandin sterile (seeds will not produce plants) and therefore its propagation is only possible by taking cuttings. By late 1920s the method of taking cuttings had become well understood and cultivation of lavandin became more popular. Since then many cultivars were developed and lavandins such as ‘Abrialii’, ‘Grosso’ and “Super” are all commonly used for the production of oil.
