Lavandula pedunculata
Spanish lavender is a bushy, evergreen, aromatic shrub from the western Mediterranean, recognised by its long-stalked flower heads topped with showy purple bracts. It thrives in hot, sunny, well-drained conditions and dislikes wet roots.
Lavandula pedunculata, commonly called Spanish Lavender or French lavender, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is known for the tuft of two or three butterfly-like, narrow petals that emerge from the top of its ovoid head. L. pedunculata is native to Iberia, Morocco and western Turkey.
