Why 'Phenomenal' is Truly Phenomenal

This award-winning cultivar was specifically bred to overcome the limitations of traditional lavenders. While most lavenders struggle in humid climates or lack cold hardiness, 'Phenomenal' thrives in both challenging heat and humidity AND tolerates harsh winters down to zone 5. This makes it the perfect lavender choice for gardeners across a wide range of climates who previously couldn't grow lavender successfully.

Fragrance & Uses

The intensely fragrant purple flowers are perfect for cutting and drying. Use fresh or dried flowers for: - Sachets and potpourri - Culinary applications (baking, teas, infusions) - Essential oil and aromatherapy - Fresh or dried floral arrangements - Craft projects and wreaths

Pollinator Paradise

Lavender 'Phenomenal' is a bee and butterfly magnet, providing essential nectar and pollen for beneficial pollinators throughout the summer and fall. Plant it to support honeybees, native bees, and butterflies while enjoying the delightful sight and sound of pollinators visiting your garden.

Perfect Container Plant

With its compact mounded form and moderate size (30"H x 24"W), 'Phenomenal' is an excellent choice for container gardening. Grow it on patios, balconies, or near entryways where you can enjoy its fragrance up close.
