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.

Lil Ms Reads A LOT

June lives her life squarely in the NSFW zone...
Format: Kindle
June Wilder has embarked on the career of a lifetime-- the newest head physical trainer for NHL's Atlanta Reapers! She's relatively young for the position, not to mention female. In a male dominated sport, she's hoping to one day earn the trust and respect of the players, coaching staff and the organization.  What she doesn't expect is to be an equal participant in flirty banter and NSFW activities in her office with handsome Right Wing Rhett Lawson. She quickly finds that Team Captain Cole Thibault is a confident and  calming presence in her daily work activities-- and the man she goes on quite possibly the most perfect date with. Then there's Elias Nystrom, the Swedish Goalie who is quiet, HULKING in size, and downright frightens her-- with whom she shares a secret which could get her in hot water if discovered.  Each of these team members intrigues her. Each she has a relationship with that is not entirely permitted as their head physical trainer. As she gets to know each of them better, she's falling deeper for each of them. Will she successfully navigate through the season without losing not only her job but her heart?  What happens when each of the men find out about each other? Will she be asked to choose between them?  This book has everything I look for in a sinfully decadent read-- a strong, independent, and likable FMC; charming, protective, and sexy MMCs; a plot that is entertaining, well thought out and executes some unexpected twists; and has chemistry that explodes off of the pages. Once again author Cassie Cole has expertly achieved all of these things in her latest book "Hat Trick". I'm a big fan of the RH genre. Of all the authors I read, Cassie Cole is far and away my favorite to date. If you read this book, you will not be disappointed!

Hot enough to melt the ice rink
Format: Kindle
This was yet another great read by Cassie Cole. June has just started as the trainer for the Atlanta Reapers. Succeeding in this male dominated role is important to her, but the more she learns about these men the more she wonders if some things are worth risking everything for. As their trainer, the men are supposed to be off limits, but they can't deny the pull they each feel. The closer to Cole, Rhett & Elias she becomes the more she realizes that she may not be able to choose between them. Is it worth the risk to her career to continue to pursue a relationship with one of the men.... let alone the risk to all their careers if they would be open to consider a more unconventional relationship. Is love worth the risk? Read this steamy story to find out!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Editing and Hockey Research Would Have Made This Better
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A bit of editing and research needed here. Maybe I’m just a hockey fan, but if you’re going to use actual NHL teams as opponents, please make sure you use actual NHL teams and not NBA team names. At the beginning of chapter 24, they play the “Philadelphia 76ers” which is NOT Philly’s NHL team. That’s an insult to Gritty and the Flyers, Philly’s actual NHL team. Honestly, if you’re going to use a fictional NHL team, them just make all the opponent teams fictional too. Additionally, I believe that trainers have an entire area to themselves, not just an office with one or two tables. June wouldn’t have to go through the locker room to tear the players; more likely she has her own space and office area. war the workout and recovery areas.
