Description
(Lavandula dentata)
More delicate in colour than English lavender, it is well-suited to drying for crafts and culinary use.
CULTIVATION
Hardy perennial to 1.1 m high x 0.9 m wide.
FLOWERING
Ten month long flower display from February to November. After a flower flush is finished cut bush back by 25 cm fertilise and watch it flower in another two weeks.
LANDSCAPE
Most tolerant of all lavenders of wet humid summers – but still needs very sharp drainage and limey soil.
FRAGRANCE
Has the English Lavender fragrance coupled with camphor overtones. Sage also has the camphor overtones. Hence use French Lavender flowers for cooking as you would Sage.
PEST CONTROL
Dried flowers repel wallet and clothes moths.
