Botanical Name: Lavandula dentata

French Lavender is a small, dense evergreen shrub, growing to 1 by 1 meter. It has toothed grey-green leaves held on upright branches, but is woody at the base. The sticky, aromatic leaves are about 3 cm long and borne in rosettes up the woody stem. The synonym ‘Fringed Lavender’ comes from the small serrations in the leaves. The violet-blue flowers are held on slender grey stems and surrounded by papery bract of a similar colour. Lavandula dentata flowers for most of the year in Australia and is a very good bee and butterfly attractant.

Lavender is a much loved garden plant with a long history and many modern cultivars. The Lavandula genus belongs to the Laminaceae family, which is also known as the mint family. It has over 3500 species, from more than 180 genera, distributed across the globe. Lavandula dentata was given its current name by Linnaeus in 1753. Prior to this it was named Stoechas secunda in 1576 by Carolus Clusius, a Flemish doctor. Although this lavender had been known across the Arab world for many centuries Clusius was the first European to discover the plant in his travels to Gibraltar. The name Stoechas dentata may also be used as a synonym referring specifically to the name Fringed Lavender.

The natural habitat of most lavender species is characterised by dry, rocky or poor soil and low water conditions. French Lavender is generally more heat tolerant, although, both French and English lavender are from Mediterranean regions. French Lavender is a significant scrub and understorey plant in forested areas and is native to southern and eastern Spain, Gibraltar, Balearic Islands, north western Africa, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Israel, Jordan and the Arabian Peninsula. It is naturalised in the Mediterranean, California, New Zealand and Western Australia.

Lavender use has been recorded since ancient times, with uses as varied as early cleansers and perfumes, medicinal headache treatments in the Renaissance Period, and even as an insect repellent. The name ‘lavender’ is derived from the word ‘lavare’ which means ‘to wash’. This reflects the early use of lavender plants in bath houses throughout Ancient Greece and Roman culture. Lavender was also spread around the floors and streets during the Middle Ages, to mask bad household odours and the stench from the streets. Today, there is a growing industry providing lavender oil for aromatherapy, cosmetics and cleansers.

Lavender is a multi-purpose garden plant with great potential, although most people are happy to grow it just for the ornamental value. Each variety is distinctive and may have different properties. For further information please check our other lavender plant listings.

Growing Conditions

As with most lavender species, L. dentata requires good drainage. In clay soils it is best to create a raised bed, perhaps in a rockery. Fertile, normal or sandy soil will produce good results. Container growing will also be successful, offering protection from frost and for managing difficult soil. Full sun is ideal, although part shade is also acceptable. French Lavender is very tolerant of hot, dry conditions and requires hot summers to grow well. It has low to average water requirements once established. This species does handle some humidity, but wet and humid summers may present a problem. Cold winters may damage the lavender plant, so planting in a protected position may be advised.

Many evolved with a requirement for high calcium and magnesium and this is commonly present in the natural environment. This lavender will tolerate lime, but does not like acidic soils. Garden lavender plants may need supplements to grow well. The fragrance is said to be stronger in chalky soils. Pruning of dead flowers is recommended, together with a light trim towards the end of the flowering period. In early spring the plants can be cut back quite hard to promote new growth. Plants can get straggly and become woody, so replacing them every 5-6 years is recommended. Propagation may be in spring or autumn with soft wood cuttings.

Medicinal Uses

Lavandula dentata has been used in traditional medicine for relieving headaches, rheumatism, to create vapour for treating colds and flu, and the oil is used in aromatherapy. Place leaves and flowers in boiling water to create steam and an aromatic vapour to treat respiratory conditions.

Culinary Uses

As a culinary herb lavender is used to add colour and flavour to sugar used for making icing, cakes, biscuits, meringues, ice creams and other deserts. It is also added to vinegars, jams and marmalades. Lavender blossoms may also be tied in muslin bags and cooked with black currants and soft fruits. Some lavender species are able to be used for other culinary purposes, but most are not suitable.

Other Uses

Dried lavender leaves and flowers may be used for pot pourri or to create small lavender pillows to help with insomnia or to use as moth/insect repellents. To dry the lavender sprigs, cut the full length of the flower stalk just before flowers are fully open and hang upside down in a cool, dry place with good air flow. The flowers also last well as a cut flower and they are well known for use in dried flower arrangements and to create incense sticks.

Very durable and my Dutchie loves it
Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
This is one of many Kongs I have purchased through the years. This one was the extra large that was purchased for my Dutch Shepherd. Every night at bedtime, he gets his Kong stuffed with some dry food, treats, and a nubs bone to hold everything in place. He loves his Kong and runs for his crate at bedtime. Usually, he doesn’t eat the treats immediately. But sometime during the middle of the night, he will wake up and eat. Every Kong I have purchased through the years has been very durable. I highly recommend this product for all sizes of dogs.

Best chew toy and training item on the market!
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I'm a Dog Trainer, specializing in early canine education with Puppies between eight and 18 weeks . The Kong is the best thing you can give a dog! You can stuff these things with all kinds of yummy things. I love to get creative with the Kongs. Adding novelty to your dog's life improves their brain health. I can't even give examples because I would be here all day. For dogs who eat kibble you can soak your kibble in water or better yet bone broth, then once it's soft, fill the kong with the kibble and put it in your freezer. Keeps your dog busy for a long time, you don't have to buy extra stuff because you just give them the kibble you're already going to give them. (I recommend getting at least one, but up to six for each dog so you can give them their entire daily allowance of food in the Kongs). The licking /chewing helps them relieve stress and gives them something to enjoy inside their crate. I learned this from Dr. Ian Dunbar and I highly recommend his training courses on a platform called Dunbar Academy to learn how to properly raise a Puppy into the best dog you've ever had. He has helpful information for older dogs too, but you really want to train your puppy properly so you can avoid the behavior problems in the first place. It's super cheap too, and easy to learn from. Plus these are great chew toys for heavy chewers because as long as you get the right size for your dog, they can't destroy this thing! AND it bounces, so you can actually play fetch with it like it's a ball. Every single dog deserves a Kong, so if you don't already have one, go ahead and do that right now. You won't regret it, and your dog definitely will love you more.

My pup loves her Kong
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My little pup loves her Kong! She’s about 14 pounds so I recommend any dog with that size to get the small size. The quality is great. Extremely durable, but still workable enough for her to get in and find all the goodness!

Heavy duty, excellent quality
Size: Small, Color: Textured Ring, Size: Small, Color: Textured Ring
I trust the Nylabone brand and would not buy a cheap substitute to save a few bucks. This ring is heavy duty. I got it for our 9-week-old puppy and it keeps her interested and entertained with all the little nubs. She uses it more as a toy than something to chew on, tossing it around and mouthing it. It's very hard so I'm not worried about her being able to chew off any little pieces at this point. This satisfies her for now and helps to keep her busy and reigns in some of her puppy energy. Recommend!
