Dense spikes of pure white, fragrant flowers appear in late summer which shine out among aromatic, grey-green leaves. This is a compact variety of English lavender that makes a gorgeous, informal flowering hedge, especially for edging a path and border, and brushing against it releases its heady fragrance. The flower-spikes are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.
