Across the wide Ljubinje Field stretch lavender plantations covering about ten hectares of aromatic purple blossoms, creating scenes reminiscent of the most beautiful Mediterranean landscapes. This Mediterranean plant fits perfectly into the Herzegovinian karst—it requires little, and thrives best in strong sunshine, dry soil, and open space.
Lavender has a wide range of uses in culinary arts, medicine, and cosmetics, while lavender from the Ljubinje fields is primarily processed into essential oils. Alongside lavender, other medicinal plants such as immortelle, sage, and heather are cultivated on these plantations, further confirming the area’s status as a region rich in aromatic and medicinal herbs.
Its quality, as well as its medicinal and therapeutic properties, are widely known and highly valued.
Special attention is drawn to the plantations cared for by the company Ljbilje from Ljubinje, which has been operating for more than twenty years under the brand Ljekobilje. This company successfully занимается the cultivation, purchase, and processing of medicinal, aromatic, and spice plants, making an important contribution to local production and the recognizability of the region.
On plantations reminiscent of Tuscany or southern France, two types of lavender are grown—gross and angustifolia.
Through distillation of this plant, very high-quality essential oil is obtained, which is used in the production of creams, massage oils, and other cosmetic products.
Lavender is most commonly planted in two periods—spring or autumn—and reaches full bloom in late June and throughout July.
It is precisely then that the Ljubinje Field becomes a true attraction: fragrant rows of purple flowers create scenes that many locals and passers-by capture in photographs every year.
