Can someone please help me identify this plant?  It has woody stems and sends up a cluster of multiple, tiny, lavender flowers.  I purchased it through a garden center but lost the identifying tag.  I want to plant more but haven't been able to locate this plant again at any of the various garden centers in my area.
