Can anyone tell me the name of this purple blooming perennial? The foliage is somewhat similar to rosemary.

I'm with Maryvonne on this one, looks like lavender to me too, but what variety, I'm not sure.  I've seen it this year in a nursery I visited, it wasn't as fragrant as the usual "munstead" variety, imo.

I purchased a similar looking Lavender that was at Home Depot a couple years ago that was supposed to bloom more than once a year. It did,  but it died the first winter while Munstead twenty feet away is still going....
