Spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) is a Mediterranean shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It is distinguished by its bushy habit, its elongated grey-green leaves, and its purple flower spikes that are larger and more branched than those of true lavender. Its fragrance is characterized by a powerful camphoraceous note, due to its specific composition.

It grows naturally on the dry, stony, and calcareous soils of southern France, Spain, and Portugal, generally at lower altitudes than true lavender. It prefers very sunny locations and well-drained soils, and is quite resistant to heat and drought. Its summer flowering is abundant and very attractive to bees and butterflies.

The flowering tops are harvested for distillation, producing an essential oil rich in camphor, 1,8-cineole, and linalool. This composition gives it analgesic, healing, and expectorant properties. Spike lavender essential oil is particularly recommended for insect bites, minor burns, or respiratory congestion.
