French lavender is a conspicuous and robust herbaceous perennial. It has a maximum height and width of approximately 3 feet (91 cm) and 5 feet (152 cm), respectively. Its foliage is distinctive, with gray-green leaves that display pronounced toothed margins. The plant’s blooms are delicate pale lavender-blue, presented in short spikes that may be visible for most of the year, with a flowering peak in the fall and early winter months. These blooms are set off by the shrub’s ability to flourish in full sun and its adaptability to low-water conditions. Resilient in colder climates, french lavender can withstand temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 degrees Celsius). Despite its appealing flowers, they are not considered suitable for culinary use.
