Apulia Plants-La nuova realtà della floricoltura pugliese di altissima qualità.

Lavandula Angustifolia

This perennial, ever-green herbaceous plant in the family Labiatae originates from the Mediterranean basin but it is widespread in the Indian subcontinent as well as in certain islands of the Atlantic Ocean. The aromatic oil used both in the cosmetic industry and as a spice for cooking is found in glands produced inside the spike-shaped violet flowers, which grow on top of thin, elongated leaves. The stoechas variety has silver-shaded leaves and gives bigger flowers with a deeper purple hue on top of which a distinctive tuft of bracts grows.

Passiflora

The genus Passiflora (which literally means passion flower) includes hundreds of species of climbing plants and shrubs, all hailing from South America. There are over five hundred species of evergreen plants in the genus. Minimum winter cultivation temperature must not be under 5 degrees and a strong brightness must be guaranteed in order to facilitate the blooming. Watering is fundamental: it should be constant and frequent throughout the year, except during the winter, especially when particurarly cold. Mostly climbing species are cultivated in Europe, and the most widespread variety is certainly the Passiflora Cerulea, with the typical white and light blue flowers. The flowers bloom in sequence throughout the summer, they attract butterflies and bees, and during the summer they give way to small oval-shaped berries, edible in some species.

It originates from Asia and it belongs to the Hamamelidaceae family. The Loropetalum has a densely branched stem with mainly horizontal development. In some years they can reach 2-3 meters in height.
