🌿 Lavandula stoechas – French Lavender

📌 Product Description
Lavandula stoechas, commonly known as French Lavender, is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its distinctive pineapple-shaped flower heads topped with colourful bracts, resembling butterfly wings. Flower colours range from deep purple and violet to pink, creating a vibrant display from spring through early summer (and often again in autumn).
Highly fragrant and drought-tolerant, French Lavender thrives in sunny South African gardens, especially in coastal, temperate, and Mediterranean-style landscapes. Its compact growth and bold blooms make it ideal for borders, containers, and water-wise gardens.
