Phenomenal Lavender

About this plant

Known for its outstanding resistance to heat, humidity, and cold, Phenomenal Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia) is an exceptionally robust and reliable perennial. Its prolific spikes of deep violet-blue flowers emerge in late spring and continue through summer, filling the air with a classic, soothing aroma. This hybrid lavender boasts fantastic vigor and a tidy, mounding growth habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or container gardening. The silvery-green foliage provides year-round textural interest, even when not in bloom. Ideal for creating a fragrant sensory garden or adding a touch of classic Mediterranean charm to any landscape, Phenomenal Lavender is also a favorite for cutting and drying, retaining its color and fragrance for beautiful indoor arrangements.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Plant in well-draining soil and prune back by about one-third after the main flush of blooms to encourage rebloom and maintain a desirable shape. A light trim in early spring can also help promote bushier growth. Avoid overwatering, especially in dormant periods.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
