If you have a garden or even just a few pots at home, you’ve surely heard of lavender. But do you know when lavender blooms and how to get the most out of it? In this article, we’ll tell you everything about the flowering season of Lavandula dentata, its care, benefits, and how to incorporate it into your home to enjoy its aroma and Mediterranean beauty.
Lavandula dentata: perfect for the Mediterranean climate of Mallorca.
Not all lavender varieties adapt equally well to the Mediterranean climate. Lavandula dentata, also known as French lavender, is the most suitable for Mallorca, as I will explain below.
Benefits of Lavender Dentata:
It blooms for up to 7 months a year, offering color and aroma almost all year round.
It promotes pollination, attracting bees and other beneficial insects to your garden.
Exquisite aroma, used by the French for aromatherapy, colognes and perfumes.
It grows compactly: approximately 1 meter wide x 1 meter high, ideal for small gardens and pots.
Hardy and adaptable: it can be planted directly in the ground or in a pot, as long as it receives full sun all year round.
This lavender is not only decorative, but also provides multiple functional benefits for your home and garden.
