lavender field

Fragrant violet cropland

A lavender field is an expanse of cultivated lavender plants, typically grown commercially for essential oils, cosmetics, or dried flowers.

The term evokes images of Provence and similar Mediterranean landscapes—rows of purple-gray shrubs stretching toward the horizon: We visited the lavender fields in bloom.

Lavender fields have become popular tourist destinations and photography backdrops.
