Lavender 'Phenomenal': Bred for Beauty and Resilience

Lavender 'Phenomenal' (Lavandula x intermedia) is a standout hybrid combining the hardiness of English lavender (L. angustifolia) and the fragrance of L. latifolia. This robust perennial shrub features aromatic silvery-green foliage and upright spikes of deep purple blooms from early July through September.

Why Choose Lavender 'Phenomenal'?

• Hardy & Reliable: Endures freezing winters (hardy in most UK climates) and scorching summers, performing in both neutral and slightly acidic soils.
• Season-Long Colour: Its fragrant flower spikes appear in succession, enlivening sunny spots for months and attracting pollinators that help your garden thrive.
• Diverse Planting Options: Grows well as a low hedge, border accent, or container feature. Integrates seamlessly into cottage, wildlife, and Mediterranean-themed gardens.
• Culinary Edibility: Use the edible petals to garnish salads or desserts, or crystallise them for baking decorations.

Design Inspiration

The Lavender 'Phenomenal' reaches a mature height and spread of approximately 70cm (28") within 2–3 years. It's perfect for edging paths, framing patios, or creating structure in mixed borders. You can pair it with pollinator-friendly plants like salvia, sedum, or nepeta. Once grown, use it to make a striking feature in a decorative planter.
