Sea Lavender

An essential plant for cutting gardens. Large, airy sprays of tiny, lavender flowers on branched stems are exceptionally long lasting in bouquets and add texture to garden beds. They appear above a low, basal rosette of succulent, leathery, paddle-shaped, green leaves in summer. Requires excellent drainage; thrives in heat.
