Lavender has an easily recognizable scent and purple to blue flowers that grow in whorls. Leaf shape varies across the genus. It is a natural repellant of moths, slugs, and deer, and a great companion for any plant that suffers from these pests (such as kale, cabbage, and other members of the Brassicaceae family).
