ID this lavender?

Saw it on the TV coverage of the Chelsea show, but it was just a bit of arty footage at the end, they didn't talk about it.



It looks a bit like 'tiara' on this page http://www.lavender.co.uk/onlinenursery.asp?catid=19&cat=Stoechas&pcatid=10 but the bracts looked more lime green on the telly, and tiara's are described as white.

 

I saw one very simialr in Dobbies Garden Centre last week DB wehn I was across but a bit expensive as it was alarge plant .
I did not study the name wish I had as i tdoes stand out.

I so wish our local garden cetres woudl sell in smaller pots.The oen I sae was yellow on th etop very effective stood out as well as the price.

 

Butterfly Lavender I think?

 

Thanks for the replies. I know what you mean about big pots ScotKat. I'd much rather get it cheaper and nurture it myself.
BigBaddad, I *think* all lavenders with the tufts are called butterfly? It was this limey green one I was really taken with though. I've found some more pictures of Tiara and I'm fairly sure that's what it is. Now to find somewhere to buy it...

 

DB shall keep a look out for you if I come across it here.

 

So this one must be a "Cabbage White Butterfly Lavender":eek:

 

It`s a form of L. stoechas. Which is French Lavender.

 

Totally agree with David its a variety of french lav............

French lavender 'Tiara' (Lavandula stoechas 'Tiara')

 

I've brought lavenders form here before - not cheap but lots of different ones, including the tiara one...
