French Lavender Lavandula dentata – Bare Root

French Lavender, scientifically known as Lavandula dentata, is a fragrant lavender variety known for its unique toothed leaves, bushy growth and better heat tolerance compared to many traditional lavender types.

This variety is one of the easier lavender types to grow in tropical climates when given strong sunlight, good airflow and the right well-draining media. It produces a fresh herbal fragrance and makes a beautiful decorative plant for balconies, gardens and sunny home spaces.

This listing is for bare root French Lavender. The plant will be sent with bare roots and must be repotted upon arrival.

Recommended Chaiyo Mix
At our Thailand nursery, we grow French Lavender in a well-draining mix using 70% Universal Substrate and 30% French Bark Nugget 8–15mm or LECA Balls.

This mix is used under outdoor full-sun growing conditions. The ratio may be adjusted depending on your growing environment, such as airflow, sunlight, heat, humidity and whether the plant is grown in a cooler or more sheltered area.

For hotter, sunnier and airier spaces, the mix may dry faster. For shaded, cooler or lower-airflow spaces, the media may stay wet for longer. Adjust the amount of Universal Substrate and amendments accordingly, and always water based on the dryness of the media.

For best results, use Chaiyo Farm media and adjust watering based on your plant’s environment.

Important Note
This is a live plant. Plant size, shape and fullness may vary slightly from photos. Bare root French Lavender must be repotted as soon as possible after receiving.
