the oldest of the white-flowered lavandins currently in cultivation though its origin is uncertain. Vigorous, upswept growth and fragrant, white flower spikes on long stems. Ideal as a specimen plant or in a hedge. Young calyces have green, green-pink, or yellow tips which, aside from its growth habit and grayer foliage, differentiates it from 'Edelweiss'.
