No, lavender does not attract frogs. In fact, lavender’s strong scent is known to repel frogs. The strong aroma can overwhelm frogs’ sensitive olfactory systems, causing them to avoid areas where lavender is present.
Here’s why:
- Olfactory Repellent:Frogs have a highly sensitive sense of smell, and lavender’s strong scent is perceived as unpleasant or irritating, leading them to move away.
- Not a Preferred Habitat:While frogs generally prefer shady, damp areas with cover, the strong scent of lavender is not a characteristic of their preferred habitat.
- Other Plants as Attractions:To attract frogs, consider creating a habitat that provides shade, moisture, and hiding spots with plants like marsh marigolds, water violets, or water lilies.
