Mediterranean Beauty That Blooms from Spring Through Fall

French lavender gives your garden months of fragrant purple blooms, often flowering from May through September and continuing into late fall or even year round in warmer climates.

Known scientifically as Lavandula dentata, this evergreen perennial shrub is native to the Mediterranean and prized for long-lasting blooms, scalloped gray green leaves, and a robust herbal scent. Where many lavender plants flower briefly in early summer, French lavender blooms through much of the growing season, helping fill borders, containers, and dry garden spaces with color, texture, and pollinator activity.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Extended Blooming Season – French lavender commonly blooms from May through September, with French lavender blooms continuing from early spring through autumn in warm climates and sometimes year round in frost-free areas.

  • Drought Tolerant – This drought tolerant french lavender plant thrives in dry California conditions and established plants typically need water only every few weeks unless extreme heat and drought persist.

  • Pest Resistant – Aromatic oils in the foliage help repel mosquitoes and other common garden pests, while the lavender flowers still attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

  • Larger Size – French lavender reaches a height of 2 to 3 feet and a width of up to 4 feet, with a typical landscape size around 30 inches tall and 40 inches wide for strong garden presence.

  • Easy Care – French lavender thrives in dry, well-draining, alkaline soil and actually prefers poor soil conditions, since nutrient-rich, fertile soils can reduce blooming success.

French lavender is excellent for ornamental landscaping because of its dense growth, long bloom period, and airy short spikes of lighter pink-purple flowers. The flower petals and purple flowers bring a softer look than many darker english lavender varieties, while the scalloped foliage keeps the plant attractive even between new blooms.

What Makes It Different

Most lavender varieties have a shorter bloom window, especially English lavender. French lavender provides gardeners with purple blooms, fragrance, and structure for months instead of weeks.

  • Longer Blooming Period – French lavender blooms from May through late fall in warmer climates, while English lavender typically blooms for about four weeks starting in mid-June. That makes French lavender a more prolific bloomer during the growing season.

  • Heat Tolerance – French lavender prefers warm climates and full sun, making it a strong choice for California yards, Mediterranean gardens, xeriscaping, and dry outdoor borders where other plants may wilt, especially when paired with other drought-tolerant flowering plants like purple bougainvillea.

  • Unique Scalloped LeavesLavandula dentata is prized for uniquely toothed, gray-green foliage. French lavender flowers are usually lighter pink-purple, while English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) typically has darker purple flowers and a stronger, sweeter fragrance.

French lavender is often compared to English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), which is more cold-hardy and primarily used in culinary dishes. English lavender is more cold-hardy, thriving in USDA zones 5-8, while French lavender prefers warmer climates, typically found in USDA zones 7-9, and has a shorter lifespan of about five years compared to English lavender’s potential 15 years.

Its scent is also different. French lavender has a robust, herbal, and slightly camphoraceous aroma. The scent of French lavender is intense and camphoraceous, making it popular for soaps and cleaning products, while essential oils derived from French lavender are valued for their stress-reducing properties and promoting restful sleep. It can also be used in culinary applications such as herbal teas, savory rubs, and infused sugars.

How To Grow French Lavender Successfully

  1. Plant in Full Sun Choose a full sun location with 6+ hours of direct sun daily. Plant in well drained soil with sand or sandy loam if possible, and avoid low ground where water collects.

  2. Water Sparingly Once established, French lavender is extremely drought-tolerant. Water sparingly, allow soil to dry between waterings, and avoid keeping the soil moist for long periods, since poor drainage can cause root rot.

  3. Prune for Shape and New Blooms Pruning French lavender is essential for maintaining its shape. Prune in the fall in mild winter regions, or at the end of winter into early spring after the last frost in colder areas. To encourage more blooms, deadhead spent flowers and occasionally prune French lavender throughout the blooming season.

Good drainage, light watering, and regular deadheading are the key habits that help this lovely plant thrive outdoors in a pot, containers, borders, or a dry Mediterranean yard.

Absolutely. French lavender is extremely drought-tolerant once established. In most dry summer conditions, established plants need water only every few weeks, though extreme heat and drought may require occasional deep watering.

reverse harem with heart and a HEA
Format: Kindle
Author duo Sasha Moon and Cassie Cole delivered a well written reverse harem romance read in Billionaire's Nanny. Our female lead Tessa starts as a server at an event and meets a sweet lil girl Tabitha. Damian is Tabitha's father and after the event all he hears about it Tessa and so, in his billionaire style shows up unannounced to offer Tessa a job as Tabitha's nanny that she can't refuse. Damian may be the beginning but there is also Theo, head of security and Nico, chauffeur and chef. These three go everywhere together. I love how our authors introduce us to the art world, exotic places traveled. They weave together the heat and sweet so well and I love that there is a storyline with mystery, heart just as much as the heat the characters bring. A wonderful HEA is to be had as well! A really good read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

So many plot twists and turns!
Format: Kindle
In Billionaire's Nanny, Tessa is a catering waitress. While working an event, she encounters Tabitha, a precocious 6 year old who is bored and seeking her own form of entertainment when left to entertain herself at her father's event. Taking the child under her wings and keeping her out of trouble, little does Tessa know that with that simple act, the trajectory of her life will forever be altered. Damian is Tabitha's father. He's wildly successful in the art world and a billionaire. Theo is his body guard and head of security, while Nico is his chauffeur (of any form of transportation that moves) and personal chef. The three travel everywhere together. Damian is out to right the wrongs of the previous generations of his family. He wants his daughter to be proud of her legacy and he will do anything to ensure that she has this opportunity, even if it requires lying, stealing and riding the fine line between what is morally and legally right and wrong. In order to do this, he desperately needs the help of someone he trusts to watch over his daughter. Tabitha won't stop talking about Tessa and the time they spent together at the event. Without notice, Damian shows up on Tessa's doorstep and orders her to join them as Tabitha's nanny. Needing the money to help care for her siblings, Tessa agrees. What ensues is a quest for Tessa to learn who to trust. There is an air of mystery continually surrounding the three men that leaves Tessa feeling uneasy. Secretive meetings and phone calls. Continually jet setting from country to country. Locked vaults and rooms depicted on doll houses as nothing more than empty spaces. Who are these men? Are they good guys or bad? Tessa struggles with her growing feelings as she finds herself equally attracted to them all. As each man spends more time with Tessa and finds himself intrigued by her, each wants her for himself. These are three alpha males all vying for pole position in Tessa's heart. Little do they know, Tessa isn't interested in having only one in pole position. For her, it's all or nothing. Will they be able to give up ultimate control and learn to share? Authors Sasha Moon and Cassie Cole have done it again! This is an extremely well developed novel. Normally I am quick to determine the plot and the direction it's taking. If there's a mystery in a plot, I've usually solved it by 25% of the way into the book. The plot of this book was hard to guess, which is actually what makes this book so fantastic! I love the twists and the turns; the hint at explanations without actually not explaining much of anything at all. LOL It kept me engrossed and wanting to know what the heck was going on. The authors did a fabulous job of slowly dispersing tidbits of plot weaving intrigue and mystery throughout the entire length of the book. This book kept me focused the entire time I was reading it. I love that Tessa is a strong female lead. She isn't afraid to back down or ask questions when things don't make sense. She also has a soft side that just wants to be loved and to feel affection. She is like a mollusk, hard on the outside yet soft on the inside and in her heart. As much as she would like to trust, she has learned that you cannot blindly trust. So she asked questions. She watches. She tries to determine if her employer Damian is truly an individual that is upstanding and one whom she can trust with her life and her heart. The three men in the story are harder for the reader to get to know, especially Damian's character. The author slowly feeds you information with regards to their personalities, but even with the air of mystery surrounding them, there's something likeable about each of them. I couldn't help rooting for them all to get their HEA. This book is an absolute definite must read!

Not your average Billionaire's Nanny
Format: Kindle
A unique twist on a Billionaires Nanny plot. I was immediately drawn into the story and it kept me guessing on how it would unfold. The chemistry between Tessa, Damien, Theo and Nico was HOT. The spicy scenes were intense and everything you would expect from a Cassie Cole book. I had a difficult time connecting with Tessa. Some of her actions and unexplained entitlement to know everything going on around her seemed off to me but Theo was my absolute favorite.
