It looks like a variety of lavender to me. Very useful plant above and beyond the scent, insect repellent.

It is Lavender although I can’t tell you the exct variety. I have some about the same size in my garden that I planed about three years ago. I went out to see if there was still a tag (I usually keep them stuck in the ground near the plants) but it’s all overgrown.

Stinks purty!

Ask green eyes. She is the garden mod. I used to read it all the time but after J Random died I just couldn’t anymore.

Looks like a pretty dry climate there, might be Lavender de Provence, which is also culinary.

It’s lavender. We’ve several bushes of them growing around. Those bumblebees love it. After the flowers die off and the pods dry out, save them in a bag and put them in drawers or closets for freshness.
