Lavandula ‘French Revolution’ is a hardy, evergreen shrub known for its highly fragrant, deep purple flower spikes and silvery-green foliage. Flowering for an extended period from spring through autumn, this variety attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, making it a fantastic addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. With its compact, bushy growth habit, ‘French Revolution’ is ideal for garden borders, hedging, rockeries, and container planting.
