Overview
Lavender is a large genus. Beyond English lavender, lavandin and the Spanish, Portuguese, French and Chaytor's groups, the game includes smaller species and hybrids. Most are warm-climate plants and unlock late, between Level 53 and Level 93.
Many of these records are "commercial taxon stock": plants sold under the species name rather than a named cultivar, such as Fern Leaf, Woolly, Spike or Yellow. Records whose identity is less certain have their stars capped at 4.
How they grow
- None of them have a chill rule, so they can flower without a winter first.
- Most only suit zone 8 and warmer, and a few only zones 9–11 or 10–11. On a colder farm they are a climate challenge.
- Their Culinary rating is 1 star, so they are grown for display, fresh stems and the Atlas collection rather than food.
- A few have "year-round (warm climates)" or "winter" bloom records.

Study-only species references
The Cultivar Atlas also holds 33 reference records for lavender species and hybrids that you can learn about but not plant, for example Lavandula antineae, Lavandula aristibracteata, Lavandula atriplicifolia, Lavandula austroapennina, Lavandula bipinnata, Lavandula bramwellii, Lavandula dhofarensis, Lavandula erythraeae and more. They count toward the Atlas collections.
Tips
- If you farm in a warm zone, these can be good display crops.
- Studying rare species in the Cultivar Atlas earns XP even if you can never plant them.
