Sensational!™ is an outstanding producer of fragrant 4-inch blooms with silver-foliage.
Sensational!™ lavender plants are easy to grow. They are tolerant to humidity and cold hardy. Great for cut, fragrant flowers or mass planting.
Called the next generation of Phenomenal®, if you like that variety and/or Grosso, you will love Sensational!™. Like Phenomenal, Sensational lavender grows to be a large plant. Sensational is more compact, with even longer flower spikes of a rich violet color.
The flower spikes are taller than many of the other lavenders.

Prune in the Spring and Fall to avoid woody growth and to help keep that lavender gumdrop shape.
