Lavandula Dentata ‘French Blue’ (French Lavender) Standards bring fragrance, colour and formal structure to sunny gardens, entrances and outdoor entertaining areas. Trained with a clear stem and rounded canopy, this elegant feature plant displays aromatic grey-green foliage topped with lavender-blue flower spikes throughout summer. The blooms also help attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Ideal for decorative pots, courtyards, pathways and Mediterranean-style gardens, this hardy lavender performs best in full sun and freely draining soil. Once established, it requires relatively little watering, while occasional trimming after flowering helps maintain its neat standard shape and encourages fresh, compact growth. Its beautiful fragrance, long-lasting display and manageable care requirements make it an excellent feature plant for both traditional and contemporary landscapes.
