Common Name: French Lavender
Description:
Lavandula dentata, commonly known as French Lavender, is a hardy, evergreen shrub with aromatic, toothed grey-green foliage and soft, fragrant purple flower spikes. Blooming from spring through autumn, it attracts bees and beneficial pollinators, making it a great addition to cottage and Mediterranean-style gardens. French Lavender thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and is ideal for garden borders, hedging, rockeries, and pots. Regular pruning after flowering encourages a compact shape and prolonged blooming.
