This hybrid captures some of the best qualities of French lavender, L. dentata, but apparently without some of its liabilities. It is bushy and nearly upright, growing 2-3 feet tall. Both stems and leaves are densely hairy, creating a beautiful bright grey cast overall. The leaves are scalloped in the manner of L. dentata only along their outer half. Flowers are small but of deep lavender color, approaching violet. They are clustered on wandlike stems, well above the foliage. Sun, well drained soil, moderate to occasional watering. Hardy to 10 degrees F. or less.
