Frost resistance — Lavandula stoechas
Lavandula stoechas L.
The frost resistance of Lavandula stoechas is limited to USDA zones 8–9, with a critical temperature threshold ranging from -12°C to -18°C. The crop is extremely sensitive to the combination of low temperatures and high soil moisture.
In the reference 10 varieties crop French lavender, where this is mentioned in the description.
For Lavandula stoechas, frost resistance is a limiting factor determining the feasibility of open-ground cultivation. The plant is characterized by low winter hardiness; therefore, in temperate climate regions, it is often grown as a container plant with mandatory relocation indoors during the winter period.
The critical temperature threshold for this species is in the range of -12°C to -18°C, with temperatures below -15°C posing a high risk of plant mortality. The ability to overwinter depends critically on drainage quality, as the combination of cold and waterlogging in the soil significantly increases the likelihood of freezing damage.
