Blooming before most other Lavandin cultivars, Lavandula x intermedia ‘Phenomenal’ forms a compact, bushy, rounded shrub with aromatic silvery gray-green narrow leaves. In midsummer, long flowering stems are topped by 5 in. (12 cm) spikes of sweet-scented bright violet-blue flowers. Often repeat blooms in late summer or fall. A great choice for the landscape due to its exceptional winter survival: its foliage does not have the winter dieback commonly seen in other hardy lavenders. Excellent for fresh bouquets or drying. Tolerates heat and humidity well.
Lavandin (Lavandula x Intermedia) is a popular hybrid lavender combining the cold-hardiness of the English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the heat tolerance of the Portuguese lavender (Lavandula latifolia), therefore providing an answer to the gardeners’ worldwide quest for a Provencal atmosphere in their gardens. These Lavender plants are usually taller than the English Lavender and grow in shrubby compact mounds up to 36 in. tall (90 cm). They are adorned with long, loose spikes of highly fragrant flowers, ranging from dark violet to white from early to late summer. The cultivars of this group of Lavenders tend to be more tolerant of acidic conditions.
