Platinum Blonde gets its name from the creamy yellow edge on the leaves.  The flower is a deep purple with a delightful traditional lavendula angustifolia fragrance.  This plant grows as a neatly rounded shrub making it perfect for patios.  Easy to maintain, simply prune back by one-third when the flowers fade to promote new growth and possibly another bloom. The foliage looks great year-round.  Platinum Blonde thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.  Draws butterflies and bees.
