Best Answer

No. While there are many Australian native plants with small purple flowers and similar foliage, there is no native species of lavender in Australia.

Answer 2. In recent decades Lavendar has enjoyed renewed popularity. It is now cultivated in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zealand and North America. "Lavender is like wine," says Byron, a young horticulturist who tends 25 acres of lavender plants in Southeast Victoria Australia. "Oil produced from the same species will vary from region to region as it is infuenced by the soil and climate in which the lavendar grows." Unlike wine, oil is extracted not by crushing, but by steaming. Lavender from Byron's farm is used in soaps, creams, and candles. See Awake magazine article 7/8/04 on Jehovah's Witnesses official website. Very interesting and informative.
