Spanish lavender, or Lavandula stoechas, is a distinct species in the Lavandula genus and  also known as topped lavender or French lavender in some regions (though distinct from Lavandula dentata), is a Mediterranean native prized for its unique flowers and aromatic qualities. Here’s a concise overview:

Compact evergreen shrub, typically 1-3 feet tall and wide. Gray-green, aromatic, narrow leaves. Unique flowers: Vibrant purple (sometimes pink or white) blooms topped with petal-like bracts (often called "rabbit ears" or "pineapple tufts"), blooming in late spring to early summer.

It originates from the Mediterranean, namely Spain, Portugal, and North Africa.

Prefers growing in warmer zones 7-9 to the more cold-hardy English Lavender.

Size: Grows 18–36 inches tall and wide (45–90 cm), slightly larger than Munstead.

Foliage: Narrow, gray-green leaves with a slightly fuzzy texture, aromatic when crushed.

Flowers: Distinctive, with compact, cylindrical flower heads topped by showy, petal-like bracts that look like "bunny ears." Colors range from purple to pink or white, blooming from late spring to early summer (May–July), often with a second flush in fall.

Scent: Strong, herbaceous aroma with a hint of camphor, less sweet than English lavender.
