Green French Lavender (Lavandula dentata) is a robust and highly aromatic evergreen shrub known for its unique, fern-like indented foliage. Unlike the silvery leaves of other varieties, this "Green" selection maintains a lush, vibrant emerald hue that provides a stunning backdrop for its delicate light purple flower spikes.

This Mediterranean native is a "workhorse" in the garden, offering incredible tolerance to drought, coastal salt air, and heat. It is an excellent choice for fire-wise landscaping and is naturally resistant to deer, gophers, and rabbits. Whether used as a fragrant low hedge, a container centerpiece, or harvested for potpourri and cut flowers, this lavender brings both beauty and utility to sunny landscapes.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Beautiful light purple blooms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds
  • Highly fragrant, emerald-green foliage with a unique "toothed" texture
  • Extremely tough: Tolerant of drought, salt spray, and poor soils
  • Pest resistant: Naturally deters deer, gophers, and garden pests
  • Ideal for borders, Mediterranean gardens, and aromatic hedging

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun and requires very little water once established. Reaching a mature size of 3 feet tall and wide, it creates a full, rounded presence in the garden. Hardy in USDA Zone 9, it is a timeless and resilient choice for those seeking a low-maintenance, high-fragrance perennial.
