This plant was sold to me as Spanish Lavender. I tried to look it up and found that Spanish Lavender looks nothing like this! I think it may be some sort of Salvia? It does not smell like Lavender, but it is fragrant and smells more like sage.
Anyone?

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

There is a bit of my Russian Sage in the background, but the leaves on this plant are the thin ones.
I might add that this is my second one of these plants. The first one flowered the second year and then died. This one didn't flower last year so I'm hoping it lives thru this winter. The place I got it from said it was a tender perennial. I'm zone 5.
I've been looking all over for this plant...the closest thing I've found is something called Salvia Lavandulifolia, but I could not find one that blooms this color!
