Lavandula x intermedia 'Phenomenal'
Phenomenal Lavender
Description
Striking bluish-purple blooms covering slightly taller stems sets this very hardy cultivar apart; impressive silvery foliage is beautifully fragrant; excellent for borders, containers, and massing in the garden; used for sachets and perfumes
Ornamental Features
Phenomenal Lavender has masses of beautiful spikes of fragrant purple flowers with blue overtones rising above the foliage from mid to late summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive fragrant needle-like leaves are silver in color. The foliage often turns coppery-bronze in fall.
Planting & Growing
Phenomenal Lavender will grow to be about 26 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 26 inches. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. Although it's not a true annual, this slow-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.
