French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas)

French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas)

French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is a fragrant Mediterranean plant known for its distinctive flower heads topped with delicate petal-like bracts that resemble small butterfly wings. The plant produces compact spikes of purple blooms above aromatic silver-green foliage, creating a striking combination of colour and texture. Its strong herbal fragrance and unique flower shape make it a popular ornamental and aromatic plant.

This compact shrub forms a tidy mound of narrow leaves and upright flower stems that bring colour and structure to containers, patios, and herb gardens. French lavender is often grown in decorative pots where its blooms and fragrance can be enjoyed up close. When brushed or gently handled, the foliage releases a soothing lavender scent that is widely appreciated in gardens and homes.

Lavandula stoechas is particularly valued for its long blooming season and ornamental flower shape. Its bold purple flowers and fragrant foliage make it a standout plant for sunny indoor spaces, balconies, and outdoor containers during warmer months.
