This is supposed to be Spanish lavender, but it has absolutely no scent. Any ideas? Thanks!

It looks like lavender. Did you rub your fingers on the foliage? Maybe it will have a scent when it flowers.

Hmmm no scent at all? I was thinking Curry plant,which is in the daisy family.

I'm with Treelover on this one.......surely looks like curry plant......does it smell like curry? I have the spanish lavender and it is a pretty one but it does not have the scent of the lavendula angustifolia...the true lavender.

There is no scent at all even when cut, crushed or bruised. I should specify this plant is in Georgia at my sister's B&B. After the area was stripped from a tornado, all the gardens had to be redone. Spanish Lavender was supposed to be planted for it's beauty and scent. We are puzzled and can't figure this one out.

I don't believe it's dianthus, and I haven't seen the curry plant so I can't comment on that. It could be lavender and just hasn't developed its fragrance yet. Some of my most fragrant flowers don't release their fragrance until the weather is very warm.

What's strange is that nothing seems to fit the bill. It's been in the high 90s everyday at my sisters B&B where this plant is, so unfortunately Lavender does't fit, and as of yet, no flowers , so I guess it is a waiting game.

I have an artemisia, a native species, that is similar in appearance... but its foliage is aromatic, also...

Hiya Lisa,

Hard to tell without the whole plant but maybe this

http://www.provenwinners.com/plants/detail.cfm?photoID=6720&doSearch=1&sear chLightCodeType=Sun&page=4

It's listed as an annual, but in the south it could overwinter if the winter wasn't too bad or if it's in a relatively protected spot.

Suzy thanks for the possible match. I passed the info to my sister. I'll keep you all posted when she knows for sure, but that looks like a good possibility to me too.
