lavender

Lavender is a type of purple flower and also a color that's often associated with calmness.

You might hear people talk about growing lavender in their gardens or having a big bunch of fresh lavender on their kitchen counter. They're probably using it for baking or to make crafts, like potpourri or sachets. You can even find lavender in beauty products like lotions and soaps because the scent is thought to be relaxing. Some people also use dried lavender as a tea, although that's less common.
