French Lavender is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its distinctive flower spikes topped with rabbit-ear-like petals. Unlike English lavender, it blooms earlier and continues flowering through summer, offering a long season of vibrant purple colour and a rich, herbaceous fragrance.

Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established, French Lavender thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, containers, rockeries, and Mediterranean-style gardens. Its aromatic foliage and flowers attract bees and butterflies.
