The most beautiful travel destinations for the lavender blossom
Early summer is the right season for lavender blooms. In particular, the fields of Provence in the south of France are a single purple to blue sea from around May / June. The early flowering season starts with the blissful month of May Coppy lavenderwhich also blooms the longest of all varieties. From the beginning of June the flowering time of the real lavender begins, which can be found mainly in the mountain regions. Shortly afterwards, the tall spear lavender begins to open its flowers. The last to bloom is the lavandin typical of Provence, which blooms in a lush blue-violet tone from mid-June. Incidentally, Provence is the best-known growing area for lavender, but so is it in other Mediterranean countries there are extensive fields. The Italian Tuscany and Greece are always worth a trip to see the lavender blossom. There are also other growing areas in Spain (u. a. on Mallorca), Croatia (especially on the island of Hvar) and in Hungary (Tihany peninsula).
