French Lavender Hedge Plants Description
French Lavender (sometimes known as Spanish Lavender) has a number of differences from English Lavender hedge plants. Instead of flower spikes with narrow flowers, it has bracts on the end of the flower spikes - rather like ears. Often called Butterfly Lavender, this variety has produced distilled oil since the Middle Ages.
French Lavender is a popular variety of Lavender hedging, but we do also have the following additional varieties - English Lavender, Lavender 'Hidcote', White Lavender, and Dwarf Lavender. See even more hedge plants with flowers, as well as other fragrant hedging.
These plants are available all year round. Plants bought in Autumn, Winter or Spring will flower in the first Summer.
We are happy to do a discounted pallet deal of mixed Lavenders - please phone to specify how you'd like them to be mixed.
For more information on planting distances please see our
planting density advice section. As a general rule however, smaller pots such as 2Lpots can be planted anything up to 6 plants per metre (if planting in s double staggered row) whilst larger plants require less plants per metre due their size. It all depends on the fullness of hedge you wish to achieve and the time you are happy to wait to achieve this.
Instead of a fairly hard prune which benefits English Lavenders, French Lavender should just be given a light trim after flowering - often in May.
