french lavender hedge
A French lavender hedge is a stunning and practical way to add aromatic beauty, vivid purple hues, and year-round structure to your New Zealand garden. Known for its finely serrated silvery-green foliage and long flowering season, French lavender (Lavandula dentata) is an ideal shrub for low hedging, pathways, and borders. With its fast-growing habit and resilience to drought, a French lavender hedge transforms both formal and cottage gardens, offering texture and fragrant blooms that attract bees and butterflies.
Lavender dentata (French Lavender)
Lavandula dentata, commonly known as French Lavender, is the most common of the Lavender varieties. It is a compact shrub and features masses of short purple-blue flower spikes from spring through summer. The foliage is green-grey and complements the darker flowers nicely as it grows to 60 cm tall and the same width. Lavandula dentata is commonly used in cottage gardens, included in mixed plantings and borders, trimmed into a low hedge, mass planted as a groundcover, grown on a bank, or maintained in a container.

Brunfelsia pauciflora Scent sational (Yesterday Today Tomorrow Plant)
Brunfelsia Scent-Sational, commonly known as the Yesterday Today Tomorrow plant features masses of sweetly fragrant, pansy like flowers during spring and summer which literally coat the plant. Most interestingly though, the flowers open blue-violet, fade to lavender, then finally turn white. It grows as a rounded cushion of leathery, green leaves to about 1.2 m tall and 2 m wide. Brunfelsia Scent-Sational is commonly grown as an informal hedge, added to a mixed planting, planted around outdoor living areas, used in cottage gardens, or mass planted alongside a path or on a bank.
