Lavender Frenchette

Common Name:
French Lavender 'Frenchette'

Description:
Lavandula dentata 'Frenchette' is a compact and aromatic cultivar of French lavender, prized for its soft, silvery-grey, toothed foliage and abundant spikes of lavender-blue flowers. Blooming primarily from late winter through spring, with intermittent flowering throughout the year, 'Frenchette' adds a long-lasting splash of colour and fragrance to gardens. Its dense, mounded habit makes it ideal for borders, low hedging, and container planting. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is drought-tolerant once established, making it a suitable choice for Melbourne's climate. Regular pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and prolongs blooming.
