The best time to plant is in spring or early autumn, allowing the plant to establish before extreme temperatures.
It needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive and produce abundant blooms.
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water sparingly, as it is drought-tolerant.
Prune annually after flowering, cutting back about one-third of the plant to encourage new growth and maintain shape.
Yes, 'Phenomenal' lavender is well-suited for containers, providing the containers have proper drainage.
It thrives in well-drained soil. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture.
Make sure it gets enough sunlight. Deadheading the spent flower spikes can encourage a second flush of flowers in autumn.
It typically grows to a height and spread of 70 cm x 70 cm.
Reduce watering and ensure the soil has good drainage. Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering.
Ensure the plant receives sufficient sunlight. Also, try pruning after the first flowering to encourage new blooms.
Ensure the soil is well-drained. If root rot is suspected, repot the plant in fresh soil and a pot with better drainage.
Inspect plants regularly for pests. Use insecticidal soap or other appropriate treatments if necessary.
'Phenomenal' lavender is supplied as an established plant in a 12 cm pot, ready for planting. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants appropriately if you are planting them as a hedge or border. When planting in containers, use a well-draining potting mix. Water the plant thoroughly after planting and continue to water regularly until established. Prune after the first flowering to encourage bushier growth and another flush of flowers in the autumn. Deadheading spent flower spikes will also help to promote new blooms. Be careful not to overwater, as lavender prefers drier conditions.
*Compatibility:* 'Phenomenal' lavender is compatible with various companion plants, especially those with similar needs, such as rosemary, thyme, and other Mediterranean herbs. Avoid planting in areas with excessive shade or overly moist soil.
*Care:* Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, lavender is drought-tolerant, so water sparingly. Fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune annually after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Protect from harsh winter conditions in colder climates by mulching around the base of the plant.
