Fern Leaf Lavender

Fern leaf lavender (Lavandula multifida), also known as Egyptian lavender, is a unique and aromatic herb known for its finely divided, fern-like foliage and delicate purple flowers. Unlike the more familiar English or French lavenders, fern leaf lavender has a soft, feathery appearance and a more subtle fragrance with slightly musky undertones. Native to the Mediterranean region, this variety thrives in hot, dry climates and well-drained soil, making it a favorite in xeriscapes, rock gardens, and herb beds where both texture and scent are desired.

This lavender blooms nearly year-round in mild climates, offering long-lasting color and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its compact, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and decorative edging. In addition to its ornamental appeal, fern leaf lavender is valued for its resilience — it's drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance. Gardeners appreciate its ability to bring both beauty and practicality to the garden, with its silvery foliage and soft blooms adding a calming, Mediterranean touch to any space.
