(18-30" tall x 24" wide) Sensational!™ Lavender is an exciting introduction from the same growers that developed the versatile, easy-to-grow Phenomenal Lavender. Tough, broad silver foliage has an elegant look that pairs nicely with many garden designs. Sensational™ blooms with flowers that are unusually large compared to other lavender varieties. Fragrant flowers and foliage have a dense, compact habit with a sweet floral aroma on sturdy stems. Low camphor content makes this an excellent choice for culinary uses, drying, and aromatherapy. Like most Lavender varieties, Sensational™ will thrive in hot, sunny, and dry growing conditions, yet it has been developed for improved moisture and cold tolerance (up to -10F). Suitable for all but the coldest areas of the US.
