Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Phenomenal™ Lavender Plant

Planting Instructions for Phenomenal™ Lavender Plant

  1. Site Selection: Choose a location that receives full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily). Lavender thrives in sunny, well-ventilated areas. Phenomenal™ Lavender is also highly heat- and drought-tolerant, making it ideal for sunny, dry spots in your garden.
  2. Soil Preparation: Lavender prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with a slightly alkaline pH (6.5-7.5). If your soil is heavy clay or poorly drained, amend it with sand, gravel, or organic compost to improve drainage. Avoid overly rich soils, as lavender prefers lean conditions, which help promote better blooms and oil production.
  3. Planting Depth: Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but no deeper than its height. Set the plant so that the crown (where the stems meet the roots) is level with or just above the soil surface. Mound up the soil slightly to encourage proper drainage and avoid water pooling around the base.
  4. Mulching and Watering: After planting, spread a thin layer of gravel or light mulch around the base of the plant. Avoid heavy organic mulch like wood chips, as they can retain too much moisture. Water the plant thoroughly right after planting, then allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Care Instructions for Phenomenal™ Lavender Plant

  1. Watering: Water deeply once a week during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Phenomenal™ Lavender is very drought-tolerant once established and prefers dry soil. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as lavender is susceptible to root rot in overly wet conditions.
  2. Fertilization: Lavender does not require heavy feeding. In fact, too much fertilizer can lead to leggy growth and fewer flowers. You can add a bit of compost or a low-nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Once established, lavender rarely needs additional fertilization.
  3. Monitoring: Keep an eye on the plant for signs of overwatering, such as yellowing or soft leaves. Phenomenal™ Lavender is known for its resistance to root rot and other common lavender diseases, but good drainage is still essential for its health.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care for Phenomenal™ Lavender Plant

  1. Pruning: To maintain the plant's shape and encourage vigorous growth, prune Phenomenal™ Lavender once a year in early spring or after flowering. Trim back about one-third of the plant, making sure not to cut into the woody stems, as these do not regrow. Regular pruning helps prevent the plant from becoming leggy and encourages a fuller, bushier shape.
  2. Pest and Disease Control: Lavender is naturally resistant to most pests, but aphids or spider mites may occasionally appear. You can treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Thanks to its excellent resistance to humidity-related issues, Phenomenal™ Lavender is less prone to root rot and fungal diseases compared to other varieties, but always ensure good air circulation and drainage.
  3. Seasonal Tasks: In colder climates (USDA zones 5-9), Phenomenal™ Lavender is hardy, but in zone 5, providing some winter protection may help. Apply a layer of mulch (gravel or straw) around the base of the plant to insulate the roots during extreme cold. Avoid covering the crown too heavily, as this could trap moisture.

Beware- not all Phenomenal™ Lavender plants are the same.

Be sure to get superior perennials, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" perennials to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Phenomenal™ Lavender plants in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall perennials in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" plant, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy plant.

Phenomenal™ Lavender Plant - NationwidePlants.com

Phenomenal™ Lavender handles cold winters and hot, humid summers better than many lavenders- with fragrant purple blooms all summer.

  • Fragrant purple flower spikes from midsummer through early fall, great for cutting and drying
  • Neat, rounded mound of silvery foliage, about 1-3 ft. tall and wide
  • Deer resistant, while attracting bees and butterflies
  • Very drought tolerant once established, and hardy in zones 5-9

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Phenomenal™ Lavender Plants Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak perennials grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Phenomenal™ Lavender plants, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start filling your garden with fragrant purple blooms sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Phenomenal™ Lavender Plant

When does Phenomenal Lavender bloom?

Phenomenal Lavender blooms from midsummer through early fall, producing abundant spikes of fragrant purple flowers above silvery-green foliage. Pruning lightly after the first flush of flowers can encourage a second round of blooms. The flowers attract bees and butterflies and are lovely for cutting and drying.

How big does Phenomenal Lavender get?

Phenomenal Lavender grows about 1 to 3 feet tall and wide, forming a neat, rounded mound of silvery foliage. Its tidy size makes it ideal for borders, mass plantings, rock gardens, low hedges, and containers. Space plants about 2 to 3 feet apart so air can circulate between them.

What zones does Phenomenal Lavender grow in?

Phenomenal Lavender grows in USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 9. It is known for handling both cold winters and hot, humid summers better than many lavenders. In zone 5, add a layer of gravel or straw around the base in winter, but avoid piling mulch over the crown.

Is Phenomenal Lavender deer resistant?

Yes, Phenomenal Lavender is deer resistant. Its strongly scented foliage is unappealing to deer and many other pests, which makes it a great choice for yards with wildlife pressure. At the same time, its flowers attract beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

How often should I water Phenomenal Lavender?

Water Phenomenal Lavender deeply once a week during its first growing season, then only when the top inch of soil is dry. Once established it is very drought tolerant and actually prefers dry soil. Overwatering is the most common problem, so watch for yellow or soft leaves.

What soil does Phenomenal Lavender need?

Phenomenal Lavender needs well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a slightly alkaline pH of about 6.5 to 7.5. It prefers lean soil, so avoid rich amendments and heavy wood-chip mulch. Improve heavy clay with sand or gravel, and plant so the crown is level with or just above the soil.

How do I prune Phenomenal Lavender?

Prune Phenomenal Lavender once a year in early spring or right after flowering, trimming back about one-third of the plant. Do not cut into the old woody stems, because they usually will not regrow. Regular pruning keeps the plant full and bushy instead of leggy.

Does Phenomenal Lavender need fertilizer?

Phenomenal Lavender needs very little fertilizer. At most, add a bit of compost or a low-nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Too much feeding causes floppy, leggy growth and fewer flowers. Once established, it rarely needs to be fed at all.

Can I grow Phenomenal Lavender in a pot?

Yes, Phenomenal Lavender performs beautifully in containers on sunny patios and decks. Use a pot with good drainage holes and a gritty, well-draining mix, and place it in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light. Let the soil dry between waterings, since pots can stay wet too long.

Is Phenomenal Lavender safe for pets?

Lavender is considered mildly toxic to dogs and cats if eaten in quantity, and can cause nausea or vomiting. Most pets avoid it because of the strong scent, and brushing past the plant is harmless. If your pet likes to chew plants, keep an eye on it and call your veterinarian if symptoms appear.
