The leaf edges are lined with many fine, curling white threads that catch the light. The foliage clump is 18 to 24 inches tall and 3 to 3½ feet wide. In summer a thick, upright stalk rises 4 to 5 feet tall with a branched cluster of nodding, bell-shaped white flowers about 2 inches long. At peak bloom the white bells form a tall spire over the gray-blue rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcalibur loves the same hot sun and lean, sharp-draining soil as lavender, and its spiky blue-gray form sets off the soft purple lavender spikes beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in any well-drained soil, including sand and poor soil; water only until established.
