Lavender
Flower type: Annual (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This short flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its gray-green stem is wispy and straight with a curved tip, and the miniature, dark green or peach leaves are black on the underside and are circular with toothed edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.
Two tiny flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with petals that are generally pale purple; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 10 petals. They are very delicate.
It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like cinnamon, and it has very little pollen, but can cause allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind and is ignored by most insect species.
It grows well in the sun and full shade.
