What are lavender adaptations?

Lavender plants have several adaptations that help them thrive in their native Mediterranean environment. They possess narrow, silver-gray leaves that reduce water loss through transpiration and reflect sunlight, aiding in heat tolerance. Additionally, their deep root systems enable them to access moisture from deeper soil layers, while their aromatic oils help deter herbivores and attract pollinators. These adaptations make lavender resilient in dry, rocky soils with poor fertility.
