At last, a lavender truly adapted to our hot, humid summers and tough winters! Phenomenal is a groundbreaking hardy cultivar, truly a breeding breakthrough that every American gardener will love. This new American introduction refuses to die back in winter, tolerates extreme heat and humidity without melting out, resists rot, and stands up to other foliar diseases that can make Lavender a challenge to grow. In other words, it conquers all the stumbling blocks that have held lavender back in gardens across the country! On Phenomenal, the bright blue blooms are held well above the silvery-green foliage, creating a canopy of color breathtaking even in a small planting. Both the flowers and the foliage are strongly fragrant. No wonder this plant was featured in the March/April 2014 issue of Fine Gardening Magazine, and Better Homes and Gardens even named it a Must Grow Perennial! Phenomenal reaches about 24 to 32 inches high and wide, blooming heavily in late spring and early summer (much sooner than most other lavender varieties). We heartily recommend it for borders, meadows, mass plantings, and containers in full sunshine and well-drained soil. Zones 4-8.

I am so thrilled with my Lavender and this company! I ordered 20 of them and managed to kill half of them almost immediately. After talking with “Lavender Lady”, I learned what I had done wrong (watered them. Do NOT water them!) and was grateful to receive 10 replacements at no charge. They are now thriving and I’m starting to feel a wee bit like a gardener! I’m ordering Lemongrass next!

I bought 36 of them. They arrived in good condition with very clever packaging. I managed to break one of them while unwrapping. Put the other 35 in larger pots. A few days later, they all look happy, just like the photo on this page. So I am a happy customer and would recommend this company.

I planted 22 of the Phenomenal Lavender last fall and all, but 2, survived our winter. I think those 2 probably died because deer stepped on them. I just received 18 more. All 3 of my orders arrived quickly and in excellent shape. The packaging is very clever and simple. I am impressed with this company! Thanks so much Daylily Nursery!
