It has been planted for more than 4 years, with a planting area of 22, mu and a yield of more than 95% of the country.

3. Mediterranean coast

Lavender is native to the Mediterranean coast, and the quality of lavender produced here is still the best. Highland refers to the difference between the varieties of plants it grows and the places of origin, that is, the cold-resistant lavender, which is translated as highland lavender.
