Papillon is a hardy evergreen perennial with scented leaves and flowers. This is a fairly early flowering lavender. The long bracts that top the flower spike are said to resembled butterflies (hence the name 'Papillon'). Planted next to path ways, the scent will be released as you brush against the foliage. Useful for cutting, drying, containers, rockeries, wildlife and drought resistant gardens. The oil is also much used in perfumery and aromatherapy. Very attractive to bees and moths.[2]
