Lavandula x intermedia 'Phenomenal' (Phenomenal Lavender)

Lavandula x intermedia 'Phenomenal,' commonly known as Phenomenal Lavender, is a hardy, fast-growing lavender variety prized for its fragrant, silvery-green foliage and long-lasting violet-purple flower spikes. The flowers bloom in abundance on upright stems and are highly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies. This versatile plant is ideal for borders, rock gardens, and hedging, as well as for drying or use in aromatherapy.

Lavandula 'Phenomenal' thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils with moderate to low fertility. It is drought-tolerant once established and highly resistant to heat, humidity, and cold, making it suitable for a wide range of climates. The plant is deer- and rabbit-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Regular pruning after flowering encourages bushy growth and helps maintain the plant's shape. Its aromatic foliage and vibrant blooms make it an excellent choice for sensory gardens or as a fragrant accent in landscape designs.
