Uses
Aromatherapy: The essential oils distilled from Phenomenal Lavender help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote restful sleep.
Decorative: Fresh or dried flower arrangements brighten homes and provide natural, long-lasting scent.
Gardening: Acts as a natural pest repellant, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while deterring harmful insects.
Planting Tips
Soil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5) is ideal. Avoid heavy, clay soils that retain moisture.
Sunlight: Requires full sun exposure—at least 6 to 8 hours daily—to thrive and produce abundant blooms.
Watering: Water regularly after planting but let the soil surface dry out slightly between watering to avoid overwatering for the first few months after planting. Once established it may not need watering for several months. Avoid overhead watering as this can lead to fungus growth. Use a drip system or water the base of the plant . In hot areas or areas with little rainfall it may be necessary to water every few weeks.
Spacing: Space plants about 4 to 41/2 feet apart to ensure good air circulation and reduce disease risk.
Pruning: Prune back after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Avoid cutting into old wood as it may not regrow well.
Climate: Prefers temperate climates with mild winters and dry summers but can adapt to a range of USDA zones 5–9.
Phenomenal Lavender is a versatile and resilient plant that enhances gardens, homes, and wellness routines with its pleasing aroma and practical benefits.
