Lavandula x intermedia ‘Phenomenal’ – The lavender that doesn’t quit.

If you’ve ever watched a typical lavender melt in the heat, rot in humidity, or give up after one cold snap, meet your new best plant: ‘Phenomenal’. This powerhouse hybrid is the real MVP of lavenders — fragrant, resilient, and exceptionally good-looking year-round.

With a perfectly rounded habit, silvery foliage, and tall spikes of lavender-blue blooms, it’s no wonder it’s a go-to for growers, gardeners, and designers alike. Named a “Must-Grow Perennial” by Better Homes and Gardens, it’s basically the Beyoncé of the lavender world — gorgeous, productive, and unbothered by the weather.

Why ‘Phenomenal’ actually is:

• Survives extreme cold — hardy to Zone 4

• Tolerates heat + humidity like a champ

• No winter dieback like other intermedia types (looking at you, ‘Provence’)

• High oil content = rich fragrance perfect for drying, sachets, and DIY projects

• Deer-proof, drought-tolerant, and disease-resistant

• Thrives in poor, dry soil — just don’t overwater

Designer + grower bonus points:

• Silvery, aromatic foliage stays tidy and upright all year

• Long bloom spikes on sturdy stems = florist gold

• Incredible in fresh or dried bouquets

• Edible and ornamental: use it in culinary or bath & body products

• Great in containers, borders, mass plantings, or as a low hedge

About these plugs:
These are vernalized perennials grown in deep 32-cell Root Tutor trays, meaning big, established root systems that are raring to grow. Started the summer before and cold-treated over winter, they’re ready to hit the ground running and will save you a full year in production time.

Quick heads-up: They may arrive looking yellowed or sleepy. Totally normal — they’re dormant or just waking up. Plant them, give them a pep talk, and watch the magic happen.

Bottom line:
Lavender ‘Phenomenal’ isn’t just surviving — it’s thriving where others flop. If you need a foolproof, fragrant, low-maintenance perennial that pulls double-duty in the field and the bouquet, this is it. No drama, all results.
