french lavender tree
Searching for a French lavender tree? You’re likely picturing a fragrant, silvery shrub that brings elegance and vibrant colour to gardens and outdoor spaces. French lavender, scientifically known as Lavender dentata, is a must-have for New Zealand gardeners who love the classic Mediterranean look and feel. Unlike traditional “trees”, French lavender forms a bushy shrub but can be pruned or shaped to mimic a small tree—making it delightfully versatile for both beds and containers. With its aromatic foliage and distinctive, frilled flowers, French lavender is perfect for sunny spots, offering beauty as well as a calming scent. Explore how to grow, use, and care for French lavender tree forms, plus discover excellent companion plants for creating a garden oasis.
