Lavandula x intermedia 'Sensational', commonly known as Lavender, is an improved lavandin with unusually large, saturated purple flower spikes held on strong, upright stems above broad silvery foliage. It blooms from early summer and reblooms into fall, filling the garden with a sweet, floral fragrance. Sensational was selected for better tolerance of heat, humidity and winter cold than many lavenders, making it a good choice for Southeastern gardens. The flowers are excellent fresh or dried, and they attract bees and butterflies while deer and rabbits usually avoid the plant. Grow it in full sun with sharply drained, lean soil, and avoid heavy clay that stays wet in winter.
