Lavender much favoured by bees for nectar and pollen. The seeds will attract birds. Lavender has traditionally been used in pot-pourri, herb pillows and in small muslin bags to put between clean linen or to infuse bathwater. It is regarded as having relaxing properties, which may aid sleep and help soothe away tension headaches. It can be used like bay leaves to infuse lamb, or flavour jams and jellies.
