Lavender is a fragrant purple herb grown on a farm. It is a calming herb rather than a food. A bunch eases stress a little and can flavour a hot drink or a salad.
Lavender counts as an herbal tea ingredient, so it fits into hot drinks. It spoils within about ten days when fresh. The Dry Lavender recipe turns it into Lavender Petals (Dried), which keep without spoiling. Lavender comes from a farm plot planted with Lavender Seeds. The best occupations for herbs are the Fishing Guide and the Park Ranger. Each starts with the same Foraging skill.
Eating
A bunch of Lavender lowers hunger by 1 and lowers stress by 1. It holds almost no calories. Eating it on its own is about the calm, not the food.
Its real value is in a drink or a dish, where it adds flavour without taking an ingredient slot.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Lavender adds 1 hunger to a Salad and 1 to a Hot Drink. It counts as a spice, so it does not count toward a dish's ingredient limit. Its herbal tea tag marks it as a tea herb for hot drinks.
The Dry Lavender recipe turns fresh Lavender into Lavender Petals (Dried). The dried petals have the same values and uses. Drying is the way to keep a harvest for the colder months.
These dishes take the Lavender as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Drink | 1 | - |
| Salad | 1 | - |
Farming
Lavender grows from Lavender Seeds. A plant takes about 20 days to grow and gives 4 to 6 bunches at harvest. The sowing season is short, running from March to May. April is the best month to plant. Lavender planted from August through January does poorly.

Storage
Fresh Lavender stays fresh for 6 days and is rotten by day 10. A fridge slows both counts. Drying it into petals is the better way to keep it.
Notes
- A bunch of Lavender eases stress slightly when eaten.
- Dry the harvest into petals so it keeps for good.
- Plant it in April for the best results; the season closes after May.
- As a spice, it adds flavour to a salad or a hot drink without using an ingredient slot.
