Lavandula stoechas
The true french lavender
Description
Lavandula stoechas, commonly known as French lavender or Spanish lavender, is a beautiful evergreen shrub known for its fragrant flowers and distinctive appearance. The plant produces spikes of purple flowers topped with colorful bracts, often in shades of purple, pink, or white. The flowers have a strong, pleasant fragrance. This plant is great for dry, sunny locations. Requires full sun and well-draining soil. Water sparingly, as lavender is drought-tolerant once established. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. This plant is a great choice for borders, rock gardens, and containers, or for use in potpourri and aromatherapy.
