Riverina Thomas French Lavender is a compact woody evergreen perennial with highly aromatic silver-green leaves popular for potpourri. The square stems end with large clusters of highly fragrant lavender flowers in mid summer and again in fall. Grows best in full sun and dry to medium well drained alkaline soils. Drought resistant. Riverina Thomas is prized for yielding five times more the aromatic oils of general French Lavender.
