This exceptional Lavender, often known as Lavandin, brings a touch of Mediterranean charm to any outdoor space.

Gardeners adore its prolific, long-lasting blooms and silvery foliage. It moreover provides an irresistible magnet for beneficial pollinators. This plant offers beauty and ecological benefits, making it a truly valuable addition to your garden design.
The name Lavandula intermedia refers to a hybrid origin. It is a cross between true Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia). This combination gives it the best traits of both parents. The cultivar ‘Phenomenal’ clearly reflects its outstanding qualities. It shows superior vigour and greater disease resistance. Gardeners value its strong, upright growth habit, making it a superb choice for structured plantings. Furthermore, its ability to withstand colder UK winters makes it especially popular.
Lavandula intermedia Phenomenal graces gardens with abundant, richly scented, deep purple flower spikes. These long-lasting blooms emerge from early summer and continue right through to late summer. Its beautiful, narrow, silvery-green leaves provide an attractive contrast. These leaves also release a strong, sweet aroma when brushed, adding another layer of sensory delight. This plant truly creates a visual and olfactive masterpiece in your garden spaces.
This versatile Lavandin fits perfectly into many garden designs. Use it to create fragrant, informal hedges or low borders. It also shines in mixed perennial beds, rockeries, or containers. Consider planting Lavandula intermedia Phenomenal near pathways or seating areas to enjoy its scent fully. Pruning is simple and encourages fresh growth. Shear it back gently after the main flush of flowers finishes. This will maintain its compact shape and promote a second, smaller bloom.
Lavandula intermedia Phenomenal is a true friend to garden wildlife. Its nectar-rich flowers provide an essential food source for many pollinators. Bees, hoverflies, and butterflies are particularly drawn to its vibrant blooms. Planting this Lavender creates a bustling hub of activity. This helps support local ecosystems and adds lively movement to your outdoor space.
Very hardy. Tolerates temperatures typical of a continental winter.
Plant Lavandula intermedia Phenomenal in a location that receives full sun for optimal flowering and fragrance. It thrives in well-drained soil, preferably alkaline to neutral. While drought-tolerant once established, water regularly during its first growing season. After establishment, water only during prolonged dry spells. Prune your plant after its main flowering flush, typically in late summer, by removing spent flower spikes and shaping the plant back by about one-third. This prevents woodiness and encourages new growth and potentially a second bloom. A lighter trim in spring can also promote bushiness. Feeding is generally not required; however, if growth appears poor, a light application of a balanced fertiliser in spring can be beneficial. This Lavender is generally trouble-free but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
