Cut-leaved lavender

Lavandula multifida, the fernleaf lavender or Egyptian lavender, is a small plant, sometimes a shrub, native to the southern regions of the Mediterranean, including Iberia, Sicily, Northwest Africa and the Canary Islands.

The plant grows up to 24 in (61 cm) tall. The stems are grey and woolly. Leaves are fernlike, double pinnate and silver to green in colour. Dark blue or violet flowers may be either single or three-pronged, and are borne on long stems held above the foliage.
