Sensational!™ Lavender is an improved, easy-to-grow variety that makes growing lavender accessible to more gardeners than ever! Silvery foliage is topped by large, dense purple flower spikes. With a compact, dense habit and notable durability for sun, heat, and humidity, as well as cold tolerance, Sensational stands apart from many traditional Lavender varieties. A favorite of honeybees, these fragrant flowers will attract a wide range of pollinators. (Lavandula x intermedia)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(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.
