Why Grow French Lavender?

French lavender is loved for its long flowering period, striking fragrance, and versatility. Whether you're creating a Mediterranean-style landscape, edging pathways, or designing a bee-friendly garden, Lavender dentata (French Lavender) brings year-round interest. Its ability to tolerate drier conditions and coastal exposure makes it an excellent choice for many New Zealand gardens. Unlike English lavender, French lavender has a slightly more relaxed, informal habit and softer scent, which can complement cottage-style themes or modern, low-maintenance borders.

Growing Tips for French Lavender in New Zealand

French lavender is exceptionally easy to grow if planted in the right spot. Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid locations where water pools after rain, as wet roots are the enemy of all lavenders. Amend your soil with gravel or sand if you have heavy clay, and space plants to allow airflow, reducing the risk of mildew.

Prune your Lavender dentata (French Lavender) lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Regular deadheading extends the flowering period, and a yearly trim prevents woodiness.
