Lavender officinalis.

Grey lavender, also known as Lavandula dentata verde, is a perennial shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Although it is often included in the French lavender group, its origin dates back to Spain. This variety is distinguished by its toothed leaves and greener foliage than other lavenders.

Description:

Gray lavender is an exceptional plant that brings an element of elegance and fragrance to any garden. Its light purple flowers are clustered in spikes that give off a soft, soothing scent. Its green foliage and serrated leaves distinguish it from other lavenders. This perennial is not only visually attractive, but is also prized for its versatility in landscaping and gardening.

Care - Watering and Fertilizing:

To properly care for gray lavender, it is essential to provide it with a sunny location and well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Avoid waterlogged soils, as this plant prefers moderate dryness. Watering should be moderate, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. As for fertilization, use a slow-release balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth.

Adaptation to cold and heat:

Gray lavender is an incredibly hardy plant. It tolerates both cold and heat, making it suitable for a wide variety of climates and regions. It can thrive in coastal areas and withstand drought once established. To maintain its attractive shrub form and encourage continuous flowering, cut it back after flowering.
