Otto quast is a cultivar of lavender from the Spanish lavender species (Lavandula stoechas). Producing 3cm (1¼in) long spikes topped with purple bracts on top of fragrant dark purple flowers along the spike.[1]

Even though Otto quast is one of the showiest lavenders in the garden, it doesn't have the same fragrance as other lavender varieties. The fragrance smells like a cross between a lavender and rosemary. What it lacks in true lavender fragrance it makes up with evergreen leaves looking exceptional year round.[1]
