Lavandula dentata 'Linda Ligon' (French Lavender)

Linda Ligon French Lavender (Lavandula dentata ‘Linda Ligon’) is a distinctive and ornamental variation of French lavender, admired for its sporadic white variegation on narrow, serrated leaves. The soft green foliage accented with creamy white highlights provides year-round visual interest and sets this cultivar apart from standard dentata lavenders.

This plant forms a refined evergreen shrub with a naturally tidy structure, making it especially well suited for topiary training, decorative containers, and indoor cultivation. Like other Lavandula dentata types, ‘Linda Ligon’ thrives in mild climates and can flower intermittently throughout much of the year under optimal conditions.

Its compact size, architectural form, and elegant foliage make ‘Linda Ligon’ a favorite among lavender collectors, designers, and gardeners seeking something truly unique. When grown indoors, provide bright light such as a south-facing window or sunroom for best performance.
