French Lavender

French Lavender (Lavandula dentata) is a fragrant, compact shrub with grey-green foliage and distinctive lavender flower spikes topped with soft bracts. It provides perfume, colour, and texture in garden beds and pots, and the foliage can be lightly used in sachets and simple home crafts.

Plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged conditions. French Lavender prefers low to moderate watering once established and benefits from a light prune after flowering to maintain a dense, bushy habit and encourage fresh growth.

Perfect for cottage gardens, borders, and scented containers near paths and doorways.
