Overview
Portuguese or butterfly lavender (Lavandula pedunculata) is a close cousin of Spanish lavender, and the game rates it the same way: Display scores high (4 stars), while Oil and Culinary score 1 star.
Because the game has no chill rule for this group, these plants can flower without a winter first. They are not food lavenders: their Culinary rating is 1 star, so they cannot be harvested as a culinary lot.

Tips
- Check the zone range first. On a farm colder than the listed zones, these plants grow at 72% speed and take extra frost damage.
- Use them for fresh and display products rather than oil or food.
