Spanish Lavender

Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is a striking and aromatic perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. It's easily recognized by its dense, pinecone-shaped flower heads topped with whimsical, petal-like bracts that resemble rabbit ears, often in shades of deep purple or magenta. Unlike the more commonly known English lavender, Spanish lavender tends to bloom earlier in the spring and is better suited for hot, dry climates. Its fragrant gray-green foliage adds texture and interest to gardens year-round, and the blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

This lavender variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant gardens, containers, borders, and rock gardens. Spanish lavender requires minimal watering once established and benefits from light pruning after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage more blooms. With its bold flowers, aromatic scent, and easy-care nature, Spanish lavender brings both beauty and function to any sunny garden space.
