Lavandula dentata, commonly known as French lavender, is a bushy, evergreen shrub distinguished by its unique gray-green leaves with finely toothed or fringed margins. This aromatic plant produces dense spikes of purple-blue flowers topped with pale violet bracts, blooming from late spring through summer. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, alkaline soil, making it ideal for Mediterranean-style gardens, rockeries, or as a low hedge. Its resinous scent is highly valued in perfumes and oils.
