Lavandula dentata is noted
for its fragrant flowers and leaves. The French Lavender is not the
culinary variety, see Lavandula
provence for cooking. The green foliage contrasts
well with the lavender flowers. The leaves of Lavandula dentata have
many teeth or lobes. The variety candicans has grey foliage.
Lavandula dentata looks best if the dead flowers are removed at least a
couple of times each season, though that may be a bit tedious. The
French Lavender grows to 3 feet tall and can spread to 6 feet or
more. Lavandula dentata is quite drought tolerant once established
and does not fare well with overhead water. Lavandula dentata is
Winter hardy into the low 20's.
