Lavandula dentata, commonly known as French lavender, is a perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean region. It features distinctive, serrated leaves and produces spikes of purple flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The plant typically grows to a height of 2 to 3 feet and is often used in gardens for its aromatic foliage and attractive blooms. This species thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping and drought-resistant gardens. Lavandula dentata is also valued for its essential oils, which are used in aromatherapy and cosmetics, contributing to its popularity in both horticulture and the fragrance industry.
