About this tree

'Phenomenal' is a breakthrough lavender bred for outstanding cold-hardiness, humidity tolerance, and resistance to the root and foliar diseases that plague other varieties. It forms a tidy, uniform mound 2-3 ft. tall and 2-4 ft. wide with silvery foliage and long, fragrant purple flower spikes in summer. Hardy across USDA zones 5-9, it's beloved by pollinators, deer-resistant, and drought-tolerant once established. Plant in full sun with sharp drainage for a fragrant, low-maintenance border or herb-garden anchor.

Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with full sun and sandy, well drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 2 ft. - 3 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Drought tolerant once established — water deeply but infrequently, letting the soil dry between waterings.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.
