French Lavender

Lavandula dentata

This cute sub-shrub is an iconic symbol of the Mediterranean. Traditionally used to perfume bath water and clothes, lavender today serves to beautify our rock beds, flower beds and gardens. It is also used to infuse perfume and essential oils. Easy to care for, lavender appreciates good drainage, light and can be grown even in poor soils.
