Yes that’s lavender, highly recommend hanging some stalks from your showerhead or near it. Will create a wonderful aroma from the steam to make a spa like experience!

Yes , thank you for the ID, I have purchased lavender and the smell is distinctive.

I agree with Russian sage. Rub the leaves with your fingers and it will not smell like lavender. It has a fragrance just not lavender. The stems are generally stiffer than a lavender stem in my experience.

Thank you for your feedback in identifying this plant.
