Overview
Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is known for showy "rabbit ear" bracts; the game describes it as loving heat but needing mild winters. It lists 111 plantable Spanish lavenders, the second-biggest group after English lavender, including the Anouk, Javelin, LaVela, Madrid and Bandera series and several coded breeding selections.
They are the display group: every Spanish lavender scores at least 4 stars for Display. They score low for Oil (1 star), Aroma (2 stars) and Culinary (1 star), so they are not for cooking or distilling.
How they grow
- No winter chill is needed, so they can flower without a winter first.
- Most bloom early: spring and late spring records are common.
- They are tender. Most records list zones 7–9 or 6–9, so on a colder farm they are a "climate challenge": slower growth and heavier frost damage.
- They unlock later than English lavender and lavandin: from Level 25 up to Level 92.

Tips
- Use them for fresh, display and photo products, where Stems and Display stars count.
- Check the zone fit before you plant: only one is rated for zone 5, and about a quarter for zone 6.
- Their early bloom can give you something to sell before the English lavenders open.
Real-world note
The game's planning tool warns that Spanish lavender usually will not survive winters in cold zones, and suggests growing it in pots you bring inside, or choosing angustifolia instead.
