Common Name: Lavender 'Super French'

Description:
Lavandula dentata 'Super French' is a vigorous and highly ornamental French lavender variety, known for its soft, finely-toothed grey-green foliage and abundant deep purple flowers with elegant, butterfly-like bracts. This fast-growing, hardy perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens. Flowering for an extended period from spring through autumn, 'Super French' is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
