Evergreen Perennial
Phenomenal Lavender has a reputation for resistance to humidity-related diseases such as root rot and fungal infections. Though like all lavenders it does best with excellent drainage—it loves gritty soil in full sun. It has a high oil content so is good for drying, pot pouri, soap making and other crafts. Highly-fragrant and deer-proof, this perennial works beautifully when situated along walkways, paths, and property boundaries. This silver-leafed perennial produces 5" wands of purple flowers that bring delight, to wildlife and people alike, from early summer to fall.
