Lavandula multifida – Lavandula multifida

The following description concerns Lavandula multifida generally. Lavandula multifida is a subshrub with finely divided, fern-like leaves and blue to violet flowers held above the foliage. The leaf structure distinguishes it from narrow-leaved lavenders. Its native range extends through parts of southern Europe and North Africa to north-eastern Sudan. Egyptian lavender is a common name, rather than an exclusive geographical origin.
