The Cotton Lavender is a lovely mediterranean plant, with decorative foliage all year round. A superb, spreading and rounded form, dense and compact. The aromatic foliage is grey-green, delicate and finely cut, covered in a lovely silvery down. From July to September, abundant bright yellow flowers will appear. Capitates (dense clusters) of 1-1,5cm in diameter, at the end of rigid stems. Very melliferous, they produce a nectar, much appreciated by insects.
