Lavandula angustifolia 'French Fields' Lavender

Classic fragrance, compact form, and exceptional versatility.

Lavandula angustifolia ‘French Fields’ is a beautifully balanced English lavender prized for its rich fragrance, deep violet calyx, and reliable reblooming habit. This compact evergreen shrub produces violet-blue flower spikes on sturdy mid-length stems, making it equally at home in the garden, kitchen, and still room.

Blooming early in the season and often offering a second flush in autumn, ‘French Fields’ is a favorite among growers who want consistent harvests and strong aroma. Its high essential oil content and sweet floral flavor make it an excellent choice for culinary use, tea blends, syrups, sachets, essential oils, and fresh or dried bouquets.

In the landscape, this variety forms a tidy mound of silvery foliage that stays evergreen in milder climates. It performs beautifully in herb gardens, raised beds, borders, and small-scale lavender plantings, and is especially well-suited for growers seeking a true English lavender with classic scent and dependable growth.
