Lavender 'Ellagance Purple'
Both the foliage and the flowers are fragrant, for nonstop garden perfume all season!
The rich purple-blue blooms are so abundant and beautiful, beginning in midsummer and continuing straight through early fall. Wonderfully fragrant and irresistible to bees and butterflies, they create a garden ambience that few other perennials can achieve. If you have a patch of well-drained or even dryish soil receiving full sun, do treat yourself to 'Ellagance Purple' or its white-flowered sister.
The silvery-gray foliage is terrifically fragrant too, keeping this lavender sweet-scented both before and after bloomtime. Measuring just a foot high and not quite as wide, this is a nicely compact, dense variety that is unappetizing to deer and rabbits, withstands dry soil and even drought once established, and remains evergreen in warm climates. You shouldn't miss it! Zones 5-9.
