Fern Leaf Lavender, also known as Spanish Eyes Lavender, is an aromatic tender perennial often grown as an annual in cooler climates. This distinctive variety features finely divided, fern-like silver-green foliage and soft lavender-purple flower heads topped with decorative “ears,” giving it a unique ornamental look. As a first-year blooming lavender, it is an excellent choice for northern climates where perennial lavender does not reliably overwinter, allowing gardeners to enjoy lavender flowers and fragrance in a single season.
