Summary

An incredibly hardy and fragrant lavender — perfect for low-maintenance landscapes.

Lavandula x intermedia 'Phenomenal', also known as Phenomenal® Lavender, is a standout hybrid lavender prized for its exceptional cold hardiness and humidity resistance. Unlike many other varieties, it holds up well in both extreme heat and harsh winters without suffering dieback or loss of form.

Its elegant, silvery-green foliage forms a compact mound, and in mid to late summer it produces long-lasting violet-blue flower spikes that are both fragrant and attractive to pollinators. The blooms dry well and are perfect for sachets, bouquets, and crafting.

Phenomenal® Lavender is a versatile choice for sunny borders, garden beds, containers, or naturalistic landscapes. It's especially useful in poor, rocky, or sandy soils where drainage is excellent.

Care

Phenomenal® Lavender Care

Plant in full sun for optimal flowering and compact growth.

Grow in well-drained, sandy, or gravelly soil. Avoid heavy or clay-rich soils unless heavily amended for drainage.

Water deeply but infrequently after establishment. Overwatering or poorly drained soils can lead to root rot.

Fertilize lightly in early spring if desired. Excess nutrients can cause floppy growth or reduce flowering.

Trim plants back by about one-third in early spring, just as new growth emerges, to maintain shape and encourage fresh blooms.

Do not mulch heavily around the crown; airflow and drainage are critical.

Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart to provide room for mature growth and adequate airflow.
