Bring the scent of the Mediterranean to your garden with an easy-to-grow evergreen shrub.
French lavender is an aromatic evergreen shrub that brings the beauty of the Mediterranean basin to your outdoor garden. It grows between 0.6 and 1 meter tall, featuring finely toothed, grey-green narrow leaves. This sun-loving plant fits perfectly alongside companion herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano.
Growing this shrub is highly rewarding and requires very little effort. It thrives in full sun with minimal water, making it exceptionally drought-tolerant once established. You will only need to provide basic care to keep this moderate grower healthy.
In the spring, the plant produces dense violet flower spikes topped with pale purple bracts, which are specialized leaf-like structures. These blooms are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, and both the flowers and leaves are edible. Just keep in mind that while it is safe for humans, it is toxic to pets.
