Lavandula dentata

Lavandula dentata: characteristics and care

Lavandula dentata, popularly known as toothed lavender, is a perennial shrub native to the western Mediterranean basin that stands out for its aromatic foliage with toothed edges and its purple flower spikes, topped by very decorative bracts, which appear almost continuously.

Its prolonged flowering and intense aroma make it a highly valued choice for flowerbeds and borders, as well as for aromatic and pollinator gardens.

It tolerates drought very well once established and adapts to poor and calcareous soils, provided it has good drainage.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
