Featuring fragrant, pretty purple blooms and silvery foliage, the Lavandula phenomenal is a sun-loving perennial that will add both height and color to your garden. Kelly Funk, president and CEO of Jackson & Perkins, says that Lavandula is highly adaptable to many different conditions and requires very minimal watering once it's well-established. "It is also heat and drought-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for sunny areas," she says. "Its resilience and easy-care characteristics make it a great addition to borders, hedges, or any landscape needing color and sweet fragrance."
