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.
When it comes to cultivation, Phenomenal Lavender lives up to its name with exceptional heat and humidity tolerance, as well as improved cold hardiness compared to many other lavender varieties. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, adapting to a wider range of soil types than most lavenders. Once established, it demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and disease resistance, requiring minimal care. To maintain its shape and encourage reblooming, it's recommended to prune in early spring and lightly after the first flowering.
Companion planting can enhance the beauty and effectiveness of Phenomenal Lavender in the garden. Consider pairing it with other sun-loving, drought-tolerant plants that complement its color and texture. Some excellent companions include Echinacea (Coneflowers), Salvia, Sedum, ornamental grasses, Rosemary, and drought-tolerant roses for a robust and colorful garden display.
