Add item to quote to see pricing

Lavendula stoechas is an enchanting evergreen shrub that adds an alluring Mediterranean vibe to any garden setting. Simply known as French Lavender, this plant offers more than just visual appeal, standing up to 3 feet tall with an enticing aroma that radiates from its narrow, silvery-green foliage. The French Lavender’s striking flowers bloom in eye-catching shades of vibrant purple or playful pinkish-purple, arranged in distinctive lollipop or pinecone clusters - dainty "rabbit-ear" petals whimsically adorning the top. Beyond its aesthetic charm, this shrub is a hardy performer that delights in full to partial sunlight and shows impressive resilience to drought, thriving even in dry, well-drained soil conditions. But the allure of the French Lavender extends to the natural realm too as it warmly welcomes bees and other beneficial insects to your garden, proving itself a delightful centerpiece not just in rock gardens, borders, and container gardening, but also as an eco-friendly and low-maintenance addition to your landscape.
