Sidonie's something different when it comes to lavenders. It's free flowering, quick-growing and with Australian origins, tolerant of more humidity than many others. Its showy forked flowers are held atop long stems, and their blue-purple colouring is iridescent, especially during winter and spring. Its fragrance is also different - fresh and novel.
