Notes
'Phenomenal' lavandin (Lavandula intermedia 'Phenomenal') is a perennial for borders, hedges, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It forms mounds of grayish green, fragrant foliage with purple flowers on long stems. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Shear it lightly in early spring and again after flowering to keep it tidy.
Pairs well with Maximilian sunflower, Purple lovegrass, and Ornamental onion.
