The French lavender is known as Lavandula dentata; the term 'dentata' means "toothed" and refers to the scalloped leaves. It is extremely drought-tolerant and renowned for its use as a popular essential oil, for culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal applications. 

It is famous for its iconic purple blooms with a calming scent and ruffled, serrated leaves; which results in its other common names such as Toothed Lavender or Fringed Lavender.

Native to the Mediterranean climates, the Lavandula dentata was once considered a subspecies of Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas), but it is now recognized as a distinct species.

Check the plant tag to ensure you're purchasing Lavandula dentata, as Spanish lavender is occasionally mistaken for French lavender.

French Lavender can typically grow up to 3 feet tall and spreads 2 feet. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for borders, containers, or hedges.

The flowers of French Lavenders are its most striking featureIn frost-free, warm climates, they bloom year-round. In areas that receive frost, it blooms from early spring to fall. They appear in mid-summer and are a vibrant purple color with a distinctive "fringed" appearance due to the toothed edges of the petals. Although it is adorned with its famous purple flowers, Lavandula dentata is not as fragrant as English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia).  

Blooming Tip

Remember, it is critical to dead-head French lavender flowers throughout the summer because they bloom continuously from May to September. When pruning lavenders, make sure there is enough green on the plant so that new blooms can grow. With the spent flowers, you can make a new bouquet or let them air dry and create fragrant satchet bags to store in your dresser to scent your clothes.

How to Water French Lavender 

French Lavender is an extremely drought-tolerant plant that thrives in dry conditions, making it perfect for water-conscious gardeners or those who tend to forget to water their plants from time to time. Due to its adaptability to arid environments, it requires minimal watering, and you'll rarely need to water it unless faced with extreme heat and drought. 

Make sure the soil drains well to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and other problems. When watering Lavandula dentata, provide about 1-2 inches of water per week, either from rain or irrigation. Mulching around the base of the plant with gravel mulch can help retain moisture and reduce evaporation. However, avoid getting water on the leaves or crown to prevent fungal diseases. 

When first planted, new Lavender plants appreciate more frequent watering to establish a strong root system. However, once established, they become highly resistant to drought and require less water. In fact, watering every 2-3 weeks is sufficient until blooms appear, indicating the plant's readiness for more frequent hydration. 

As French Lavender blooms, increase watering to once a week or every 10-14 days to promote healthy growth and maximize flower production. After you pick or deadhead the flower, you can revert to the initial watering schedule. Remember, overwatering can harm your Lavender plant, so it's essential to strike the right balance and respect its love for dry conditions.

Seasonal Watering Needs 

  1. Spring: Water every 2-3 weeks as the plant produces new growth and prepares for blooming.
  2. Summer: Increase watering to once a week or every 10-14 days during hot weather, especially when blooms appear.
  3. Autumn: Reduce watering to once every 4-6 weeks as the plant prepares for dormancy.
  4. Winter: Water sparingly, only once every 2-3 months, as the plant is dormant.

During periods of extreme drought, French Lavender plant may drop its leaves or become dormant to conserve water. Don't worry! With regular watering, it will recover quickly. 

Light Requirements: Where to Put French Lavender 

When growing French Lavender indoors, it's essential to provide it with plenty of bright light to mimic its natural Mediterranean habitat. Place your Lavender plant in a south-facing window that receives direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day.

If this isn't possible, east- or west-facing windows can also work, but avoid north-facing windows as they receive too little light. Supplement with grow lights if necessary to ensure your plant receives the light it needs.

Remember, your plant French lavender Lavandula dentata prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in a spot with low light, as this can lead to weak and spindly growth. If you're growing it indoors during the winter months, consider moving it to a brighter location or using grow lights to compensate for the shorter days. 

For outdoor cultivation, choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. French Lavender plants love basking in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours a day, but they can tolerate some shade, especially in warmer climates. If you live in a hot, sunny area, consider providing some afternoon shade to prevent scorching. In cooler, cloudier climates, opt for a sunnier spot to encourage blooming.  

French Lavender’s Perfect Mix: Soil & Fertilizer 

The French lavender prefers well-drained alkaline soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Avoid heavy clay or sandy soils, as they can lead to root rot or drought stress. Instead, opt for a mix specifically designed for Mediterranean plants like Lavandula dentata, which typically contains a blend of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Planet Desert has specialized potting soil, opens in a new tab that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help grow a healthy root system and help your plants thrive. 

In terms of fertilizer, it requires minimal or no feeding. This plant thrives on very few nutrients, whereas too many nutrients can harm the plant, resulting in leggy, yellowed foliage and fewer flowers. 

If your French lavender plants aren't looking their best, nutrient deficiencies could be the cause. A balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer applied at half the recommended strength is sufficient. You can fertilize in the spring when new growth appears. 

When choosing a fertilizer for French Lavender, look for one that is high in potassium (K) and low in nitrogen (N). Potassium promotes root growth, flower production, and overall plant health, while excessive nitrogen can lead to weak stems and fewer blooms. A balanced fertilizer with a ratio of 5-10-10 (N-P-K) is suitable for Lavender.

It also benefits from a layer of compost or well-rotted manure around the base, which provides slow-release nutrients and improves soil structure.

Hardiness Zones & More  

When growing indoors, it prefers daytime temperatures between 65°F and 75°F and nighttime temperatures around 55°F. Maintain a consistent temperature, avoiding sudden drops or rises. They prefer relatively low humid climates, around 40-50%. You can achieve this by placing the pot on a tray with pebbles and water or using a humidifier. 

French Lavender can tolerate some fluctuations in temperature and humidity, but extreme conditions can lead to stress and poor growth. Avoid placing your plant near heating or cooling vents, fireplaces, or drafty windows. If you live in a hot and humid climate, consider using an air conditioner or dehumidifier to maintain a suitable environment for your Lavender. 

For outdoor cultivation, it thrives in USDA zones 8-11, meaning it can tolerate temperatures as low as 20°F and as high as 90°F. If you live outside these zones, consider growing French Lavender in containers that can be moved indoors during extreme weather conditions. It prefers full sun and ventilation, making it an excellent choice for gardens with good air circulation. In warmer climates, provide some afternoon shade to prevent scorching. It can tolerate some frost but may need protection during prolonged periods of extreme cold. Though this Lavender plant is typically planted in the spring, it can also be planted in the fall in areas with mild winters.  

Wildlife - French Lavender Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

French Lavender is well-known for attracting various pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Its fragrant, purple flower spikes produce a sweet nectar that draws these pollinators, supporting the local ecosystem and aiding in the pollination of nearby plants.

Toxicity: French Lavender is generally considered non-toxic to humans and can be used in culinary and aromatic applications. It is also safe for deer and rabbits. However, it is mildly toxic to pets, such as cats and dogs.

Propagating French Lavender: Tips & tricks

The French Lavender can be propagated through various methods, including stem cuttings, layering, division, and seed. Stem cuttings are the most popular method, where 3–4-inch stem tips are cut, removed from lower leaves, and planted in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist and warm until roots develop. Layering involves bending a long stem to the ground, securing it with a rock, and waiting for roots to form. Division involves separating established plants in the spring or fall, making sure each section has roots and foliage. Seed propagation is less common, as it can be unpredictable, but sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, and transplant outside when weather permits. Regardless of the method, Lavender propagation requires patience, as it can take several months for new plants to establish themselves.

Cool world building and great side characters
Format: Kindle
I adored the side characters and found them a lot more compelling than Jovie and Acker, if I’m being honest. I really wanted to like her but I found myself getting frustrated by her lack of, I don’t know, real rage for any of the crap people pull on her. Like ok I get this is romantasy but I have a hard time really believing you’re actually as upset at this guy as you claim to be when two minutes later you’re letting this dude shove his tongue down your throat. Additionally, an early running theme is that Jovie is frustrated that there are a bunch of people deciding things for her but the existence of the whole “matched/bond” thing makes much of her autonomy a moot point. Like at one point I think Acker even points out that them getting into bed together is a “foregone conclusion” and someone else mentions that the other matched pairs that don’t end up together ended up literally destroying each other. No pressure. I was a lot more interested in the characterization of Messer, Beau, and Hallis. I knew I was going to be exasperated consistently by this girl when she let Mr. Murder Hottie treat Messer like a war criminal after he almost got himself spatchcocked for them by a mighty-morphing radical with an attitude problem. If my homie went through the battle blender like that for me after I found out he had been secretly protecting me and keeping me company for weeks/months, I would be doing A LOT MORE than standing around trying to figure out if I actually thought he was my friend while Captain Boy Toy did some light torture on him. Also Acker, my dude, if you can still find it in your heart and your loins to get riled up while your sister is having a breakdown in the room over…I don’t know, seek help I guess. I liked the juxtaposition of Beau’s bravado and her militaristic delivery of information to her brother showing she can turn on a dime when needed. Adding the mental toll her gift takes on her throughout time and how she has self destructive coping mechanisms really gave her some cool depth, and I appreciated the vulnerability it lent her. Hallis was a weird character for me at first but I ended up looking forward to his dialogue a lot. Initially, I didn’t care for the way he seemed to immediately just be a real jerk to Jovie and it didn’t often read as playful to me when I think it sometimes meant to. Regardless, his genuine care for Beau and Acker and how he dropped the act immediately when they really needed him made him pretty endearing and I always appreciate a grump who cares. Honestly everything about this book was an A+ for me aside from the two main characters’ dynamic. When Jovie gets pissed at those bats and obliterates a forest? A+ When she tells Acker that she saw the signs that Messer was getting abused and acknowledged she felt shame and that she couldn’t fault him for being complicit in her mistreatment since she had done the same? A+ When she’s sitting there and coming to terms with the fact that everything she knows has been built on lies as she’s flipping through her sketchbook? A++ The writing and setting is great and the book is good, but someone needs to give Jovie a big stick and tell her it’s okay to be mad and smack people with it even if they’re hot.

Interesting. Confusing ending that's too similar to another book
Ok, I had to process almost a whole 24 hours before I could write this review. And long story short, did I enjoy the book, yes. Does it have a lot of interesting and good parts to it? Also yes. But does it also have some major flaws? Absolutely. Now I'm not gonna break down every single little thing in this book. But here are the basics of what I liked, and what I didn't like. The good? I liked the characters. They intrigued me off the bad. The world building is pretty decent. It's a little confusing in the beginning, but information is slowly doled out, and some questions are answered. I found that there was a lot of little twists and turns that kept the story engaging. The magic system is intriguing. But, there are quite a few things off for me. First off, we have another story that has heavy inspirations from other books. There are a lot of aspects in this story that felt directly pulled from throne of glass. And the big twist at the end? Was almost verbatim the same ending as the book how does it feel. As soon as I read it I was like hold up, I literally just read almost this same thing when I read how does it feel when it released like a year or year and a half ago. Now I know no concepts are really new anymore, and inspiration comes for everywhere. But I feel like most stories it's like, oh this book has these vibes, or if you liked this book you'd like this one that's similar. But this reminds me of powerless in where there are like exact plots and plot points taken from other things. Now is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. I still enjoyed powerless, and I still enjoyed this story. But it does throw me. There are also a few red flags that the MMC Acker gave me that were not the good kind of red flags we love. First, when they are riding thru the city and people throw stuff at the FMC and he does nothing? Red flag. When they meet his dad and they demand she vows not only to the king but to the MMC? Red flag. All the secrets he keeps? Red flag. When he SLAPS HER IN THE END? Red flag. I'm not sure how I really feel about him. In the end. This was still an enjoyable read. I did like it and I am curious about the next book. But I am wary about some of the plot points and the MMC.

Just read it. You won’t regret it.
Format: Hardcover
This book completely blew me away. I loved every single character—not just the FMC and MMC, but the side characters too, which is rare. In a first book, side characters can feel flat while the focus is on world-building, but that definitely wasn’t the case here. The romantic tension between the FMC and MMC was so good—seriously addictive. The plot itself felt pretty straightforward at first, and the world-building was easy to follow. It even gave me Heartless Hunter / Wolf King vibes… until the last 20 pages. And wow—those final pages. I usually spot plot twists coming, and I thought this one was going to be predictable, but I was completely wrong. That ending genuinely shocked me—I haven’t had that reaction to a book in a long time. I’m already counting down to book two (and that teaser chapter? Absolutely brutal). Just read it. You won’t regret it.

4 Stars for Now!
Format: Kindle
I DEVOURED this book. I was in a huge slump after reading a horrible series right before this but after 3 pages of this book, I was hooked. I read the whole book in 2 days. I think the author did an amazing job at writing an engaging story with an amazing twist at the end. I know many readers feel betrayed by the twist and find the narrator to be unreliable but I feel that the twist was done in a great unsuspecting way. Though I do feel betrayed, I think there is so much room for redemption in the second book! The author also did an amazing job at world/character building. She was able to do so without interrupting the story which is one of my huge pet peeves. A lot of authors build by taking breaks in the plot or dialogue which I find choppy and disengaging but this author was able to build in an engaging way. There was some lack of world/character building but I think that was due to keeping reader in the dark. The world, politics, and characters were all very easy to understand. I found the romance a little lackluster and a bit off-kilter. Some of it was really pushy and rushed which left a bad taste in my mouth. I do hope the author delves deeper into the romance in coming books. The FMC was a breath of fresh air. She was not whiny or stuck-up like most books. She was never afraid to accept help from others but she was still able to shine with her intelligence. Not once did I think she made a poor decision just for the sake of a plot point. She was really easy to like. The MMC could use some work but I think that will happen more in coming books. This is a MUST read, my only advice would be to wait until it is a finished series!
