It did, I now have this same Lavender in my garden. Thanks to you.

It had a plant tag by it (from the store) which was no help at all. It says lavender and the picture on it is simply not same lavender that was in the ground. After looking around, I have updated the species of the entry. I hope this helps!

Did you plant this Lavender and if you did what variety is it called.? It would be nice in my Butterfly garden. I have plenty of bees.
