Curious what the difference between #EnglishLavender and #FrenchLavender is? EpicGardening.com gives us the low-down:
☀️ Climate: English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) thrives in colder climates, surviving down to zones 4 or 5. French lavender (Lavandula dentata) prefers warmth, only tolerating zones 7 and up.
💜 Purpose: For fragrance and culinary/herbal uses, English lavender reigns supreme with its stronger, sweeter scent. But if you desire long-lasting blooms that decorate your garden through most of the season, French lavender boasts the edge.
💧Care: Both types are low-maintenance Mediterranean shrubs. They enjoy well-drained soil with minimal nutrients and thrive in dry conditions.
