Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a rare selection of my favorite fragrant plant. The dense, clumping foliage is a very appealing blue-green & the whole plant is much shorter - only to about 8” to 10” tall & 15” spread. It bears, in Spring & Summer, lovely, deeply fringed, lavender flowers. You’ll love the strong, sweet, romantic fragrance. A plant to love! Rich, well drained soil is best.
