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.

Really wanted to like this soap
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I waited until I went through 5 of the 6 bars of soap in this pack. It was very well put together with each bar individually wrapped with a cellophane and a nice paper wrapper. The scent upon opening the box was pleasant. Sniffing each wrapped bar to get an idea of how they smelled left me a little skeptical. So here’s the pros and cons: PROS Small bars but they last a long time. 4 of the 6 are scrubbing bars, meaning they have exfoliating bits of walnut shells in them, which for me, blue collar worker, I really liked. Packaging is nice. CONS THEY ALL SMELL THE SAME! I don’t know why this is, but I can only attribute it to the packaging and them being so close together. Pretty disappointing. The walnut bits accumulate in the bottom of the tub and need to be rinsed down the drain. All in all, decent soap without any noticeable differences in smell. Good enough for one purchase, but I’ll be buying a different brand next time.

Do not buy.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
As in my headline, DO NOT BUY this soap. there are a few reasons why I say that and I will cover them all here, but first and foremost, I say that because this soap is MADE IN CHINA..... now just take a moment to think about this. It is a soap, very basic common ingredients here, and its still cheaper for this company to have this made all the way in China and then ship it over here to the US and sell it, rather than just making it here (like almost all other soap companies do) in the US. It is TERRIBLE soap. it is made with the cheapest ingredients that you can find, and one of my other reasons for not liking it is because it smells like CHEMICALS. the scents do not smell like what they are labeled as. They have a very heavy chemical smell to them all, and then some very slight floral and other weird scents that I cant describe. The tobacco scent has absolutely no "tobacco scent" to it at all and the same goes for the leather. the last reason why I say to not buy the soap is because its a complete rip off. We already know that it cost nearly nothing to make this, because they are outsourcing the manufacture of one of the most common substances there is (hand soap) overseas to China, but they still have the nerve to charge a premium price for VERY SMALL bars of soap. the bars are not even that big, they are small when compared to other soaps like this. do yourself a favor, pass this one by and go for a different listing. if you buy this one, you will only be purchasing regret...

Natural, Gentle, and Smells Great
Style: Most Popular
I picked these up to try something more natural, and I love them. They lather well, feel gentle on the skin, and leave it feeling clean without drying it out. The scents are really nice too. They feel like good quality bars.
