Landscape & Growing Tips
French Lavender excels as an ornamental plant in containers, borders, and Mediterranean-style gardens where its distinctive jagged foliage creates textural contrast. The unique leaf shape and fuzzy appearance make it a conversation piece in the garden. While the fragrance is more delicate than English lavender, it still attracts pollinators and adds subtle aromatic notes to the landscape. Plant in full sun with excellent drainage. French Lavender prefers warm climates and performs best in zones 8-10, though it can be grown in containers and brought indoors in cooler regions.
