Product Description
Lavandula stoechas ‘French Lavender’ is a beautiful evergreen shrub that brings colour, fragrance, and structure to outdoor spaces. Known for its eye-catching dark purple flower heads topped with vibrant purple bracts, this variety of French lavender creates a stunning display from spring through to summer. Its aromatic grey-green foliage releases a soothing scent when brushed against, making it a popular choice for patios, pathways, herb gardens, and sunny borders.
This compact lavender plant typically reaches an ultimate height and spread of 0.5–1 metre, making it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, or mixed planting schemes. Its drought-resistant nature means it thrives in dry, sunny positions with well-drained soil, making it a reliable option for low-maintenance gardening. Whether used as a feature plant, edging plant, or part of a Mediterranean-inspired garden design, French lavender delivers season-long interest with minimal upkeep.
