Lavandula x intermedia 'Phenomenal', or Phenomenal Lavender, is an exceptional hybrid lavender that combines beauty, fragrance, and remarkable resilience. This cultivar features long, vibrant purple flower spikes that rise above silvery-green foliage, creating a stunning visual and aromatic display. Typically growing to a height of 24-32 inches and spreading 24-36 inches, Phenomenal Lavender is ideal for mass plantings, hedges, and as a focal point in perennial borders or herb gardens.
Phenomenal Lavender is outstanding at attracting pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to support local wildlife and create a vibrant ecosystem. The plant's intense fragrance is not only delightful to humans but also serves as a natural deterrent to deer and rabbits, enhancing its practicality in the garden.
