French Lavender / Toothed Lavender

Botanical Name: Lavandula dentata
Family: Lamiaceae
Origin: Mediterranean region
Plant Type: Evergreen shrub

Overview

A classic Mediterranean lavender perfectly suited to Adelaide’s warm, dry climate, Lavandula dentata forms a soft, aromatic mound of grey-green foliage topped with long-lasting mauve-purple flower spikes. One of the most heat-tolerant and low-maintenance lavenders for SA, it flowers for much of the year—often from late winter through summer—with a naturally bushy, tidy form that responds well to light clipping. The finely toothed foliage is distinctly fragrant, releasing a clean, resinous lavender scent when brushed, and may develop slight silver or grey tints in dry or coastal conditions. Ideal for borders, hedging, coastal gardens, alfresco areas and waterwise Mediterranean plantings.

Key Features

  • Mature Size: 0.6–1.0 m H × 0.6–1.0 m W (naturally rounded, compact habit)
  • Growth Rate: 25-40 cm per year under good conditions
  • Foliage: Aromatic grey-green to silver-green leaves with soft toothed edges; stronger silver tints in heat, dryness or coastal winds
  • Flowers: Mauve-purple spikes with distinctive “rabbit-ear” bracts; blooms for an extended season—late winter through summer in SA, with autumn spot-flowering
  • Seasonal Interest: Evergreen silver foliage year-round, with an exceptionally long flowering window from late winter–summer; foliage colour subtly intensifies in dry periods
  • Wildlife Value: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators; valuable nectar source for home gardens
  • Tolerance: Heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant (once established), coastal-tolerant, wind-tolerant, and light frost hardy. Performs best in free-draining soils and dislikes waterlogging. Handles Adelaide’s reflective heat and sandy/alkaline soils extremely well
  • Planting Density: Low hedge or edging: 30–40 cm apart (≈2.5–3 plants per metre); Borders/mass planting: 45–60 cm apart
  • Pet Friendly: Use caution — like most lavenders, foliage contains aromatic oils that may be mildly toxic if eaten in large quantities. Low palatability; keep prunings away from pets

Where It Works Best

  • Sunlight: Full sun essential (6+ hours) for best flowering, fragrance and compact growth
  • Soil: Very well-drained sandy or loamy soil; raised beds and gravelly mixes ideal. Avoid heavy clay unless significantly improved
  • Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8-12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 10-14 days in summer; little needed in winter
  • Maintenance: Shear lightly after major flowering flushes to maintain a neat dome and encourage repeated blooms. Avoid cutting into old wood. Light feed in early spring with a low-nitrogen fertiliser. Mulch with gravel or coarse organic mulch to reduce humidity at the crown
  • Lifespan: 5-10+ years in suitable, well-drained sites
  • Climate Zones: Suited to temperate and Mediterranean South Australian gardens, including coastal suburbs and inland heat zones
  • Soil pH: Prefers neutral to alkaline soils; tolerates slightly acidic soils if drainage is excellent

Landscape & Design Ideas

  • Low hedging along driveways and paths for a fragrant, Mediterranean look
  • Mass plant in gravel or dry gardens with rosemary, olives, and ornamental grasses
  • Grow in pots near alfresco areas to enjoy scent and long flowering close-up

Why You Will Love It

Beautifully fragrant, long-flowering and exceptionally heat-tolerant, Lavandula dentata is one of the most reliable lavenders for Adelaide. With its soft silver foliage and extended season of mauve blooms, it delivers colour, scent and structure with very little maintenance—perfect for modern, Mediterranean and coastal garden styles.

Monster Mutt Loves it
One of the Guardians of our home ranch adores her. First thing she grabs after waking in the morning. Lila Mae enjoys the shape as well as texture. Considering it keeps the South African queen happy and content. Compared to the Boers past toys which they easily bored of easily, the fem stays dillegent in her quest to capture Jaws. Thanks for reading. Postscript, my jacks have no interest. They can't destroy it

For aggressive chewers.
The product lasted all of 20-40 min. I wasn't timing him chewing. But he was quick to get off the head. He had fun but he must be in a different category than aggressive chewer.

She loves it (I got the lobster one)
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My 6 month old JRT has never been so hyper over a toy before lol I will say two things, she can't get her mouth on it enough to engage the squeaker/tail aspect on her own so if you have a smaller dog/puppy be mindful of that. And she broke its tail within 10 mins of chewing on it, apparently that's her favorite part after she saw it move lol so it's all bent up now. BUT if your dog likes tossing their toys around like mine it's perfect, it's light enough for her to do that and the tail and claws are good biting spots. And she hasn't tore it up yet despite her best efforts. A solid toy.

My Pittie loves it
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
Very well made. Both my dogs were so intruiged by the movement, it wore off quickly but they still get into it from time to time (they have tons of other toys to distract them). my 100 lb Pitt mix was the only one who had a big enough mouth to really get it to work on his own but that didn't stop my 35 lb shar pei mix from chasing him around and trying to grab the tail! It has held up surprisingly well... Have had it for over six months and while it's nasty as heck from slobber it is in one piece.
