French Lavender Hedge Plant Description

French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is an attractive, aromatic evergreen shrub ideal for low hedges and borders. With its distinctive, tufted flower heads topped by colourful bracts, French Lavender provides a unique and vibrant display throughout the summer months. Its silvery-green foliage and rich purple flowers add a Mediterranean charm to any garden, while the plant's strong fragrance attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

The growth rate of French Lavender is moderate, typically growing 20 to 30 centimetres per year. It generally reaches a height of 60 to 90 centimetres, making it ideal for low hedging or decorative borders. French Lavender thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soils. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited for warm, dry climates or coastal areas.

Pruning Advice

Pruning French Lavender is essential to keep the hedge compact, healthy, and full of blooms. The best time to prune is after flowering, typically in late summer or early autumn. Cut back spent flower stalks and lightly trim the foliage to maintain a neat shape, but avoid cutting into old wood, as this can hinder regrowth. A light trim in early spring may also help encourage fresh growth and abundant flowering.

With its aromatic foliage, attractive flowers, and pollinator-friendly nature, French Lavender is an excellent choice for low hedging that adds beauty, fragrance, and wildlife interest to any garden.

Further Information

Planting distances are largely a matter of preference. For bare root plants, spacing them at 3 plants per meter is sufficient, 5 plants is optimal, and 7 plants in a double staggered row will result in a denser hedge more quickly. Generally, smaller plants should be planted at a higher density. For cell-grown plants, spacing at 4 plants per meter in a single row or ideally 6 plants per meter in a staggered row is recommended.
