Phenomenal French Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia 'Niko')
Phenomenal French Lavender, Lavandula x intermedia 'Niko', is a vigorous, sun loving French hybrid lavender known for its strong garden performance, long flower wands, and fragrant gray green foliage. Plants form a broad, mounded shrub that stays attractive through heat, humidity, and cold, then cover themselves in tall, violet blue flower spikes in summer. With its robust habit, reliable bloom, and classic lavender scent, Phenomenal French Lavender works beautifully as a focal point, low hedge, or high impact accent along paths, in borders, and in large containers.
Distinctive Features
Phenomenal French Lavender typically grows about 24 to 32 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide, forming a rounded, shrub like clump with a framework of woody stems and a full crown of leafy shoots. Long, sturdy flower stalks rise above the foliage and carry dense spikes of violet blue florets, creating a broad wash of color and movement when the plant is in bloom. Narrow, gray green leaves provide fine texture and a silvery cast that blends easily with stone, gravel, and a wide range of flowering companions. Bred for strong vigor and improved tolerance of challenging conditions, this variety is a good choice where you want a dependable lavender that holds up in real garden settings.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, fragrance, and a compact, sturdy habit.
- Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoid heavy, wet ground and favor sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
- Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
- Hardiness: Well suited to many temperate regions where French hybrid lavenders are grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
- Size: Generally forms a mound about 24 to 32 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
- Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily and develops a substantial presence without quickly outgrowing beds or large containers.
Ideal Uses
- Bold Focal Point: Use as a single specimen or in small groups in sunny borders and herb gardens where the tall flower wands and strong scent create a natural focal point.
- Edging and Low Hedges: Plant in a row along paths, drives, or terrace edges to form a low, fragrant hedge of gray green foliage and violet blue blooms.
- Containers and Patio Pots: Well suited to large pots and tubs where the mounded form and tall flower spikes add height, scent, and movement around outdoor seating areas.
- Herb and Cutting Gardens: Ideal in spaces dedicated to herbs and cut flowers, providing long stems for fresh bouquets and drying projects.
- Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, ornamental grasses, and other sun lovers for relaxed cottage combinations, or set into gravel and stone for a dry, Mediterranean inspired look.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root and crown problems.
- Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and shape the mound; avoid cutting back into old, bare wood below the leafy growth.
- Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
- Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
- Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep the plant compact and productive.
Why Choose Phenomenal French Lavender?
- Strong Garden Performance: Bred for vigor and reliability, handling sun, heat, and challenging conditions better than many traditional lavenders.
- Long, Showy Flower Spikes: Tall, violet blue blooms give impressive height and movement and are excellent for cutting and drying.
- Intense Fragrance: Highly scented flowers and foliage make it a top choice for scented garden paths, patios, and indoor projects.
- Bold Color and Form: Large mound of gray green foliage and tall flower wands provide a classic lavender look on a bigger scale.
- Versatile Design Use: Works as a focal shrub, low hedge, mass planting, or feature in herb and cottage gardens wherever you want strong color, fragrance, and structure in full sun.
With its vigorous, mounded habit, long violet blue flower spikes, and intense fragrance, Phenomenal French Lavender is an excellent choice for adding bold color, scent, and a reliable focal point to sunny borders, hedges, cutting gardens, and large containers.

"Racial Capitalism"
Format: Paperback
Cedric J. Robinson’s Black Marxism is first a history of Black people appearing in historical texts as far back as Herodotus (c. 484 – c. 425 BCE) in ancient Greece, and second a history of “the collisions of the Black and white ‘races’ beginning in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.” Robinson’s thesis connects the evolution of capitalism to its roots in racism (racialism) understood in broad terms to comprise the subjugation of one class/group/nation/race by another (the Irish by the English in the nineteenth century, for example). He uses the term “racial capitalism” to express this process—the necessity of opposing classes for the function of capitalism. As a result, “racialism,” he says, “would inevitably permeate the social structures emergent from capitalism.” Keynes attributed the slow change in the “standard of life of the average man” until the beginning of the eighteenth century to “the remarkable absence of important technical improvements and to the failure of capital to accumulate.” Capital is accumulated, in Marx’s view, through the accretion of “surplus labor” which is the extra time a worker “must add to the working time necessary for his own maintenance . . . in order to produce the means of subsistence for the owners of the means of production.” Robinson ties capitalism’s early exploitation of surplus labor to slave labor and the slave trade noting, “historically, slavery was a critical foundation for capitalism.” Robinson traces the forced transport of Black people from Africa (the diaspora) to Europe, as well as Central, South, and North America as a foundation of early capitalism (and slavery as its form of “primitive accumulation” of capital). In his discussions of slavery, Robinson stresses the sense of the enslaved people with respect to their captors in terms of the slaves’ resistance, hostility, and defiance of the masters—their “Black radicalism.” As Robinson’s text approaches the twentieth century and the influence of Marx, his focus narrows to the significance and character of specific Black leaders including W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, and Richard Wright and their respective connections to Marxism’s diverse interpretations. Marxism, says Robinson, “has proven insufficiently radical to expose and root out the racialist order that contaminates its analytic and philosophic applications or to come to effective terms with the implications of its own class origins.”

Any socialist movement must centrally address racial liberation to succeed.
Format: Kindle
Robinson's masterwork powerfully demonstrates how the Black radical tradition emerged from the shared experiences of resistance to racial capitalism and colonialism. By tracing this intellectual and political lineage through figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, and Richard Wright, Robinson shows that Black liberation struggles were not simply an offshoot of European socialism, but represented their own distinctive radical tradition.
A key insight is how Black resistance movements developed theoretical frameworks and modes of struggle that went beyond traditional Marxist analysis. Where European Marxism focused primarily on class conflict within industrial capitalism, Black radical thinkers recognized that racial oppression was fundamental to how capitalism developed globally through colonialism and slavery. This more comprehensive analysis helped explain why racial liberation had to be central to any meaningful socialist transformation in the United States.
The book compellingly argues that Black liberation movements - from slave rebellions to civil rights to Black Power - represented some of the most significant challenges to American capitalism. These struggles exposed how racial oppression was not incidental but essential to American economic and social relations. By fighting for racial justice, these movements struck at the foundations of the capitalist order itself.
Robinson's updated edition strengthens these arguments by extending the analysis into more recent decades. He examines how Black radical politics evolved in response to neoliberalism and continued racial inequalities, while maintaining connections to earlier traditions of resistance.
For readers interested in both racial justice and socialist politics, this book remains invaluable for understanding how these struggles are fundamentally interconnected. It demonstrates why any socialist movement in the United States must centrally address racial liberation to succeed in transforming society.

A Classic That Requires Time
Format: Paperback
This book is for a particular type of reader. Robinson’s writing is beautiful, but not easy. The ideas are complex. It takes effort to get through. But, if you are interested in Black politics, and looking for fresh thinking, I recommend it highly.
The funny thing is, the title is misleading. It is more about Europe and the formation of capitalism, and what Robinson defines as The Black Radical Tradition. Marx is critiqued but not rejected, and held uneasily at arm’s length.
As Angela Davis wrote, this book needs to be read more than once. It’s like an album or a movie that is so unique and rich that you know you probably missed something on the first go-round. I expect to return to it many years to come.
