Lavender Phenomenal 2ltr

Lavender ‘Phenomenal’ really lives up to its name. This is a modern, standout variety prized for its exceptional performance, beautifully scented, rich violet-purple flower spikes, and neat, silvery-grey evergreen foliage that looks smart all year round. It forms a dense, well-shaped mound, making it perfect for edging paths, lining driveways, filling sunny borders, or planting in containers close to seating areas where you can enjoy that classic lavender fragrance.

One of the best things about ‘Phenomenal’ is how tough and reliable it is. It’s widely admired for coping better than many lavenders with more humid or changeable weather, while still loving a sunny, well-drained spot. The flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators, and the long stems are excellent for cutting, drying, and crafting—think posies, dried bunches, and homemade lavender bags. Once established, it’s drought tolerant, low maintenance, and a brilliant choice for gardeners who want maximum impact with minimal fuss.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in spring or early autumn, while the soil is warming (spring) or still warm (early autumn) and workable. Avoid planting into cold, waterlogged winter soil.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny position with free-draining soil. Lavender thrives in poorer soils and dislikes wet feet—it’s ideal for mixed borders, gravel gardens, herb gardens, path edging, or containers. For heavy soils, improve drainage or plant on a slight mound.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant at the same depth as the pot, with the top of the compost level with the soil surface.
• Spacing: Space 45–60 cm (18–24 inches) apart for good airflow and a neat, rounded shape.
• Soil Prep: Avoid rich soil—lavender prefers it lean. If needed, mix in horticultural grit to boost drainage.

Watering:
Water well after planting. During the first season, water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Once established, lavender is
