If you’re looking to add a splash of colour, fragrance, and charm to your garden, one specific plant comes to mind when picturing this image, and it is the lovely Lavandula dentata ‘Elegans’ a must have!
This beautiful French lavender variety is known for its finely toothed, fragrant silvery-green foliage and stunning purple-blue flower spikes that bloom for 8–10 months of the year!
As they dance in the wind with their long dainty stems topped with a vibrant purple, it brings pollinators like bees and butterflies fluttering into your garden, but its aromatic scent is also perfect for fresh bouquets, potpourri, or simply brushing past for a relaxing whiff.
Exceptional for bringing the lavender fragrance indoors. Savouring the Lavandula dentata ‘Elegans’ in your food is a treat, from baking with lavender in so many ways to making a soft lavender ice-cream.
Easy to grow and drought-tolerant once established, ‘Elegans’ thrives in full sun with well-draining soil. Whether planted in garden beds, borders, or containers, it’s a wonderful choice for adding a Mediterranean flair to your space.
Fun Fact: The name dentata comes from the Latin word for “toothed”, a nod to the uniquely shaped leaves! This characteristic is where the “dentata” part of its botanical name comes from.
