Phenomenal Lavender
This French lavender is an elegantly beautiful and ruggedly tough perennial, flourishing 5” long flower spikes of deep blue and purple hues complimented by lush silvery-green foliage. Phenomenal can resist both extremely hot humid summers, and harsh cold winters. This cultivar has made growing lavender a reality to those whose climates would typically be too warm or wet for this Mediterranean shrub.
