    Being absolutely ignorant about plants, I assumed there was only one type of lavender!

    I was so disappointed to see my lavender bloom for only about 6 weeks, while the one around the corner (in the picture) has flowers literally every day of the year.

    I did some research and based on the look of the leaf, it appears to be some sort of french variety? But when I researched the french lavenders, many of them bloom only for a few months.

    The leaves have a very unique pattern: [https://i.imgur.com/qVKApdN.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/qVKApdN.jpeg)

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Probably french lavender, leaves are identical.

    So a variety of French lavender

    Try looking at the Spanish varieties— nice crests on a few.

    Lavandula dentata – French Lavender (common name in Australia).

    The “true” French Lavenders (L. stoechas, L. pendunculata) are sometimes called Italian Lavendats in Australia.
