Lavandula x intermedia 'Phenomenal' (also sold as 'Niko') is a sterile, hybrid lavender prized for its exceptional tolerance to heat, humidity, and winter cold, as well as its resistance to common lavender diseases. This vigorous Lavandin cultivar forms a dense, upright, mounding shrub of finely textured, silvery-green, aromatic foliage. From late spring through summer, it produces long, sturdy, elegant flower spikes rising well above the foliage, covered in small, tubular, bright violet-blue flowers. Under favorable conditions, it often produces a second, lighter rebloom in early fall. The flowers have a high oil content and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. With outstanding resistance to winter kill, root rot, and foliar diseases, and excellent tolerance for extreme heat, drought, deer, and poor, well-drained soils, it is an outstanding choice for low hedges, borders, mass plantings, slopes, and containers, especially in challenging climates.
