Product Description

Lavandula dentata 'Elegans' is a beautiful evergreen shrub prized for its finely toothed, aromatic silver-green foliage and abundant spikes of soft violet-purple flowers. Flowering over an extended season, this elegant lavender brings colour, fragrance, and Mediterranean charm to gardens, patios, borders, and decorative containers.

Its compact, rounded growth habit makes it an excellent choice for low hedges, pathway edging, rockeries, and water-wise landscapes. The fragrant blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, adding life and movement to the garden while supporting local biodiversity.

Highly drought tolerant once established, Lavandula dentata 'Elegans' thrives in sunny positions and requires very little maintenance, making it an outstanding addition to both residential and commercial landscapes.
