Lavandula x intermedia 'sensational'
'Lavandula x intermedia 'Sensational' is a stunning hybrid lavender cultivar cherished for its aromatic foliage and striking purple flowers. This variety typically grows in compact mounds, reaching a height and spread of about 18-24 inches. The narrow, silvery-gray foliage emits a delightful fragrance when brushed against, adding sensory appeal to the garden. During the summer months, 'Sensational' produces long, slender spikes adorned with abundant deep purple flowers, which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. This lavender thrives in sunny locations with well-draining soil, making it perfect for rock gardens, herb gardens, or mixed borders. Its drought tolerance and deer resistance further enhance its appeal as a low-maintenance landscape plant.
