Sensational!™ - Large 4 inch flowers
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.
