It grows to about 3 ft (1 m) tall though usually lower, with narrow, furry gray leaves. It is grown mainly for the long-stemmed heads of purple, scented flowers that appear in spring and through the warm months; these are easily dried for lavender sachets, potpourri and the like. It makes an attractive low hedge and can be trimmed after flowering.
