• Spanish Lavender, scientifically known as Lavandula stoechas, is a captivating and aromatic evergreen shrub highly prized for its unique blossoms and delightful fragrance. Native to the Mediterranean region, this resilient plant brings a touch of sun-drenched landscapes to any garden.
  
  What sets Spanish Lavender apart are its distinctive, pinecone-like flower heads topped with prominent, upright, petal-like bracts. These "bunny ear" or "butterfly" wings, often a richer shade of purple or pink than the actual flower, create a whimsical and eye-catching display.
  
  Spanish Lavender has a moderate growth rate, usually reaching its mature size within 2-3 years.
  
  Spanish Lavender is excellent for borders, rock gardens, containers, and mass plantings. Its compact size also makes it suitable for smaller gardens. Its ability to thrive in dry conditions makes it an ideal plant for xeriscaping and water-wise gardens.
  
• Spanish Lavender thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce abundant blooms and maintain a compact form.
  
  Once established, Spanish Lavender is drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
  
  It prefers well-draining, sandy or gravelly soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. Avoid heavy clay soils.
  
  Ideal temperatures range from 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C).
