Description

French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is a distinctive, aromatic shrub recognized for its gray-green, narrow leaves and unique flower heads topped with showy, petal-like bracts resembling butterfly wings. The dense, cylindrical flower spikes are deep purple to violet, and their fragrant blooms stand out as both ornamental and functional. Also known as Spanish Lavender or Butterfly Lavender, it is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly in coastal and rocky habitats.

In the crop, herb, or medicinal category, French Lavender is valued for its essential oils, used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and natural cleaning products, though its oil profile differs from English Lavender. Its scent is fresh and slightly camphorous, making it a natural insect deterrent. Traditionally, it has been used for fragrance, herbal remedies, and decorative purposes. Its flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, while its striking bracted blooms add a unique visual and sensory element to gardens and herbal plantings.

Fragrant herbs are plants valued for their aromatic qualities, which come from volatile compounds produced in their leaves, flowers, or stems. These scents often evolved as adaptations to attract pollinators, deter herbivores, or protect against pests and disease.
