"This is a selection from the Madrid Series of French lavender, which was bred in Belgium. It is a compact plant with an unusual color contrast between the sky blue corollas and the whitish colored flags or bracts, making a very showy display. It tends to begin blooming around Easter, which adds to its popularity." – Andy van Hevelingen, Promising Plants Presentation, 2004
