French Lavender / Toothed Lavender

Botanical Name: Lavandula dentata
Family: Lamiaceae
Origin: Mediterranean region
Plant Type: Evergreen shrub

Overview

A classic Mediterranean lavender perfectly suited to Adelaide’s warm, dry climate, Lavandula dentata forms a soft, aromatic mound of grey-green foliage topped with long-lasting mauve-purple flower spikes. One of the most heat-tolerant and low-maintenance lavenders for SA, it flowers for much of the year—often from late winter through summer—with a naturally bushy, tidy form that responds well to light clipping. The finely toothed foliage is distinctly fragrant, releasing a clean, resinous lavender scent when brushed, and may develop slight silver or grey tints in dry or coastal conditions. Ideal for borders, hedging, coastal gardens, alfresco areas and waterwise Mediterranean plantings.

Key Features

  • Mature Size: 0.6–1.0 m H × 0.6–1.0 m W (naturally rounded, compact habit)
  • Growth Rate: 25-40 cm per year under good conditions
  • Foliage: Aromatic grey-green to silver-green leaves with soft toothed edges; stronger silver tints in heat, dryness or coastal winds
  • Flowers: Mauve-purple spikes with distinctive “rabbit-ear” bracts; blooms for an extended season—late winter through summer in SA, with autumn spot-flowering
  • Seasonal Interest: Evergreen silver foliage year-round, with an exceptionally long flowering window from late winter–summer; foliage colour subtly intensifies in dry periods
  • Wildlife Value: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators; valuable nectar source for home gardens
  • Tolerance: Heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant (once established), coastal-tolerant, wind-tolerant, and light frost hardy. Performs best in free-draining soils and dislikes waterlogging. Handles Adelaide’s reflective heat and sandy/alkaline soils extremely well
  • Planting Density: Low hedge or edging: 30–40 cm apart (≈2.5–3 plants per metre); Borders/mass planting: 45–60 cm apart
  • Pet Friendly: Use caution — like most lavenders, foliage contains aromatic oils that may be mildly toxic if eaten in large quantities. Low palatability; keep prunings away from pets

Where It Works Best

  • Sunlight: Full sun essential (6+ hours) for best flowering, fragrance and compact growth
  • Soil: Very well-drained sandy or loamy soil; raised beds and gravelly mixes ideal. Avoid heavy clay unless significantly improved
  • Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8-12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 10-14 days in summer; little needed in winter
  • Maintenance: Shear lightly after major flowering flushes to maintain a neat dome and encourage repeated blooms. Avoid cutting into old wood. Light feed in early spring with a low-nitrogen fertiliser. Mulch with gravel or coarse organic mulch to reduce humidity at the crown
  • Lifespan: 5-10+ years in suitable, well-drained sites
  • Climate Zones: Suited to temperate and Mediterranean South Australian gardens, including coastal suburbs and inland heat zones
  • Soil pH: Prefers neutral to alkaline soils; tolerates slightly acidic soils if drainage is excellent

Landscape & Design Ideas

  • Low hedging along driveways and paths for a fragrant, Mediterranean look
  • Mass plant in gravel or dry gardens with rosemary, olives, and ornamental grasses
  • Grow in pots near alfresco areas to enjoy scent and long flowering close-up

Why You Will Love It

Beautifully fragrant, long-flowering and exceptionally heat-tolerant, Lavandula dentata is one of the most reliable lavenders for Adelaide. With its soft silver foliage and extended season of mauve blooms, it delivers colour, scent and structure with very little maintenance—perfect for modern, Mediterranean and coastal garden styles.

Protect your skin
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I really like this sunscreen spray. It’s easy to apply, dries quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy on my skin. The SPF 50 protection works great, even when I’m outside for a long time. It also stays on well when I sweat or get in the water. Overall, it’s a reliable and convenient sunscreen that I’d definitely recommend.

Awesome value for quality Banana Boat sunscreen
Size: 24 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Inside the package you get 2 sprays and 1 lotion, each 8oz. For the price, you really can’t beat it. Banana Boat is a staple sunscreen especially for my nieces and nephews who can go through a bottle of sunscreen in just a couple weeks. I like the lotion for base layer, and spray for reapplication when they don’t want to sit still, haha. The sport formula is great, it blends and goes on without much hassle. Definitely sweat resident too!

Excellent Coverage and Very Easy to Apply
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I bought this Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 spray about six months ago, and it has worked perfectly for all my outdoor activities. It provides strong and reliable sun protection, even on very sunny days, and I really appreciate that it protects from up to 98% of burning rays. I’ve used it at the beach, walking outdoors, and even on long days outside, and I haven’t experienced any sunburn. The spray format makes it very easy to apply—quick, even, and mess-free. It absorbs fast without feeling sticky or heavy on the skin, which is something I love because I don’t like sunscreens that leave a greasy layer. It’s also water-resistant, so it stays on even when I sweat or go into the water. Overall, this sunscreen is ideal if you want strong protection, easy application, and a formula that feels comfortable on the skin. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.

29 years of riding a Harley, THIS is the best sun protection I have found for long SUNNY day rides!
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This is my "Go To" Sunscreen of choice that I find is the best to quickly spray my arms down good before a long Harley Motorcycle ride! I have tried many brands and styles from creams to face specific to lip balm but this one can does it all in my case! I quickly spray my arms ( no rubbing in required ) and a quick spray in my hand and I then rub my nose and ears , face and i'm ready to ride and I am protected! Most times I only apply this product once a day and works better than anything else for my needs. I am light skin but I have ridden lots this Summer and my arms never burn and now have a deep tan as we are entering fall... I made the mistake of trying a store brand that looked like this product but was oily and never used it but once! This Banana boat once sprayed on my arms, I never think about it again as its gone but still protecting my skin! This is the best I have found after 29 years or riding a motorcycle to protect my skin with the least amount of trouble , No strange or tropical smell, NO greasy feel just quick applied lasting sun protection that has proven itself mile after mile! The BEST Sun product I have found!

It is quick to apply and I've never gotten a burn with it. It doesn't leave marks on my clothing.
