Lavandula angustifolia 'Lady'

A small, compact English variety of lavender, Lady lavender was an All-American selection noted for its excellent growth habit, fragrance, and lovely small gray-purple blooms. Lady is often considered to be the 'true' lavender, and is preferred by purists. It is considered to have the most medicinal properties and is documented as an antiseptic, as well as being soothing; its aroma clears the sinuses.
