Growing Tip:

Plant in a sunny spot with excellent drainage. Lavender performs best when roots are allowed to dry out between waterings, which helps prevent rot and supports healthy growth. 

Gardeners love ‘French Fields’ for its fragrance first—but they stay for the color and the extra blooms later in the season. It grows into a tidy, compact plant with silvery foliage, and in early summer it sends up violet-blue flower spikes with dark violet calyces that really hold their color.

One of the things we love most about this variety is that it doesn’t stop after the first show. In many gardens it gives a second, lighter bloom in fall, which makes it especially nice if you like to harvest more than once a season.

The scent is strong, sweet, and unmistakably lavender. It works beautifully for cooking, tea, syrups, sachets, and drying—and it’s just as lovely standing in the garden as it is hanging in bundles in the shed.
