Lavandula x intermedia ‘Phenomenal’ is a standout hybrid lavender prized for its exceptional hardiness, long-lasting blooms, and classic fragrance. Bred for resilience, this variety thrives in a wide range of climates, tolerating both heat and humidity as well as colder conditions better than many traditional lavenders.
Forming neat, mounded clumps of silvery-green foliage, ‘Phenomenal’ produces abundant, elegant spikes of rich violet-purple flowers from mid to late summer. The blooms sit atop sturdy stems, making them ideal for cutting, drying, and crafting, while also attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden.
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, this lavender is perfect for borders, pathways, containers, and mass plantings. Its strong, soothing scent makes it a favorite for sensory gardens and aromatic landscapes.
 
Lavandula stoechas ‘Papillon’, often called butterfly lavender, is a distinctive and eye-catching variety known for its unique, wing-like flower bracts that resemble delicate butterflies dancing above the blooms. This compact evergreen shrub brings vibrant color, fragrance, and character to gardens and containers alike.
Producing deep purple flower heads topped with soft, fluttering lilac “wings,” ‘Papillon’ flowers generously from late spring through summer, with the potential for repeat blooms in warm conditions. Its aromatic grey-green foliage releases a pleasant scent when brushed, adding to its sensory appeal.
Perfect for patio pots, borders, and Mediterranean-style planting schemes, this lavender thrives in sunny, well-drained spots. While slightly more tender than other lavender types, it rewards gardeners with long-lasting color and ornamental charm.
