Phenomenal French Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia 'Niko')

Phenomenal French Lavender, Lavandula x intermedia 'Niko', is a vigorous, sun loving French hybrid lavender known for its strong garden performance, long flower wands, and fragrant gray green foliage. Plants form a broad, mounded shrub that stays attractive through heat, humidity, and cold, then cover themselves in tall, violet blue flower spikes in summer. With its robust habit, reliable bloom, and classic lavender scent, Phenomenal French Lavender works beautifully as a focal point, low hedge, or high impact accent along paths, in borders, and in large containers.

Distinctive Features

Phenomenal French Lavender typically grows about 24 to 32 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide, forming a rounded, shrub like clump with a framework of woody stems and a full crown of leafy shoots. Long, sturdy flower stalks rise above the foliage and carry dense spikes of violet blue florets, creating a broad wash of color and movement when the plant is in bloom. Narrow, gray green leaves provide fine texture and a silvery cast that blends easily with stone, gravel, and a wide range of flowering companions. Bred for strong vigor and improved tolerance of challenging conditions, this variety is a good choice where you want a dependable lavender that holds up in real garden settings.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, fragrance, and a compact, sturdy habit.
  • Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoid heavy, wet ground and favor sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
  • Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
  • Hardiness: Well suited to many temperate regions where French hybrid lavenders are grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
  • Size: Generally forms a mound about 24 to 32 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily and develops a substantial presence without quickly outgrowing beds or large containers.

Ideal Uses

  • Bold Focal Point: Use as a single specimen or in small groups in sunny borders and herb gardens where the tall flower wands and strong scent create a natural focal point.
  • Edging and Low Hedges: Plant in a row along paths, drives, or terrace edges to form a low, fragrant hedge of gray green foliage and violet blue blooms.
  • Containers and Patio Pots: Well suited to large pots and tubs where the mounded form and tall flower spikes add height, scent, and movement around outdoor seating areas.
  • Herb and Cutting Gardens: Ideal in spaces dedicated to herbs and cut flowers, providing long stems for fresh bouquets and drying projects.
  • Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, ornamental grasses, and other sun lovers for relaxed cottage combinations, or set into gravel and stone for a dry, Mediterranean inspired look.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root and crown problems.
  • Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and shape the mound; avoid cutting back into old, bare wood below the leafy growth.
  • Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
  • Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
  • Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep the plant compact and productive.

Why Choose Phenomenal French Lavender?

  • Strong Garden Performance: Bred for vigor and reliability, handling sun, heat, and challenging conditions better than many traditional lavenders.
  • Long, Showy Flower Spikes: Tall, violet blue blooms give impressive height and movement and are excellent for cutting and drying.
  • Intense Fragrance: Highly scented flowers and foliage make it a top choice for scented garden paths, patios, and indoor projects.
  • Bold Color and Form: Large mound of gray green foliage and tall flower wands provide a classic lavender look on a bigger scale.
  • Versatile Design Use: Works as a focal shrub, low hedge, mass planting, or feature in herb and cottage gardens wherever you want strong color, fragrance, and structure in full sun.

With its vigorous, mounded habit, long violet blue flower spikes, and intense fragrance, Phenomenal French Lavender is an excellent choice for adding bold color, scent, and a reliable focal point to sunny borders, hedges, cutting gardens, and large containers.

Love This Product on My Skin. Buy the 3-Pack for Epic Savings
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I always recommend checking Amazon for three-packs, family packs, or value bundles of products you use all the time, because that’s usually where you start seeing real savings. Everyday household products can get expensive when you’re constantly buying single bottles at grocery stores, so finding a good bulk deal really does make a difference over time. That’s especially true with a quality product like Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion. It’s a great moisturizer, works well for sensitive skin like mine, and leaves your skin feeling soft without feeling overly greasy. The scent is phenomenal too, which makes it something you actually enjoy using regularly instead of just treating like another basic lotion. What I also like about this three-pack is that the bottles are lightweight and easy to handle. They’re convenient enough to take on an overnight trip or keep stored neatly in the bathroom without taking up too much room. And because you’re getting multiple bottles at once, you don’t feel like you’re constantly running back to the store every couple of weeks. If you actually compare prices and pay attention to sales, you’ll notice these bundles on Amazon can end up being significantly cheaper than buying individual bottles locally at a grocery or department store. The value is definitely there with the three-count package, especially for a name-brand product that consistently works well. Highly recommended if this is already a product you use regularly.

Highly hydrating and non-greasy
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I’ve been using Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion for quite some time, and it’s easily one of the best lotions for daily use. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving that heavy, greasy residue behind, which is a huge plus when I’m getting ready in the morning. The cocoa butter scent is subtle and pleasant—not overpowering—and it does a fantastic job of keeping skin hydrated throughout the day, even in drier climates. Having the 3-count pack is super convenient, as it ensures I’m stocked up for a while. It’s a reliable, high-quality moisturizer that consistently delivers on its promise of a healthy, radiant glow.

Good lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Vaseline intensive care just makes really good lotion. I’ve never been steered wrong by them. And getting these on clearance was so good. I’m still on my first bottle, but I don’t put it on every day. Maybe twice a week. So the bottle has lasted seven months so far and there’s still a quarter of the bottle left. That means I have at least two years worth of lotion for $10. Can’t beat that. And it’s a good lotion to boot. The fragrance isn’t too strong. It absorbs really quickly and keeps your skin soft. The pump works great. I haven’t gotten any clogs or anything yet. Though, I usually don’t have those if I’m using it as often as I have been. Highly recommend would buy again… in a couple years.

Decent lotion, good for not so dry climate.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This lotion smells amazing. I usually don’t go for scented lotion but I’m a sucker for sweet chocolate-y scents. This lotion smells like brownies. It’s not particularly mild so make sure you’re okay with it. It’s not a thick lotion in my book, has a yogurt consistency. You can feel the moisturizing effect as soon as you put this lotion on. It is a comforting lotion without being sticky or heavy, easy to absorb into skin. Although very nice and comfortable feeling when putting on, it doesn’t last through the next day in Colorado winter. I have to use it one more time on my legs during the day otherwise I get itchy. I apply this lotion at night after shower and I don’t shower put lotion on the next morning. If you do shower and lotion up in the morning then this might be good enough for a whole day. I’m used to applying lotions on damp skin but this lotion is very easy to spread, feels nice going on my dry legs as well. I love using it after washing my hands. I apply lotion every time I wash my hands and this lotion works great in that regard. It doesn’t feel greasy or particularly slippery when I wash my hands again either. I might try another lotion for winter once I finish these bottles but this is definitely a solid product, and I can see myself repurchasing in the future.

My Favourite Body Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I love this lotion so much. It's not greasy, and very moisturizing. The fragrance is amazing and smells delicious ! Unfortunately 2 out of 3 of the bottles had broken pumps when I tried to open them. I wish there were more for the price, so I switched to the Amazon Basics version. Is good for all skin types! The amount in the bottle is decent.
