Lavandula dentata, also known as French Lavender, is most often grown in pots or tubs, to be wintered indoors in all but very mild winter regions. Plants form a bushy shrub of grey-green, finely-toothed fragrant leaves, bearing short spikes of lavender-mauve flowers in midsummer. Easily pruned to keep a compact size. Choose a location with excellent drainage. In regions with clay soils, a raised bed or rock garden will improve success greatly. Attractive to butterflies.

Dentata flower year round but are less prolific during a hot, dry summer. They need a severe pruning at least once a year to maintain shape and prevent them from going woody - best time for a hard prune is October.

Flowering: Summer - Autumn [December - May]
