Lavandula x intermedia Exceptional
Lavandula Exceptional is a fragrant, white-flowered, reblooming lavender with silver-green foliage.
Lavandula x intermedia Exceptional is a spectacular lavender for the sunny garden bred for its hardiness, drought and heat resistance, and long blooming period from midsummer to autumn. Tall flower spikes host dense, pure white flower panicles that rise above broad, thick, silver-green leaves. Expect dramatic mounds 32 inches high and wide. Great in a mixed border, rock or herb garden, containers and as fresh and dried cut flowers. Sometimes listed as zone 6 but it is a sport of Phenomenal which is zone 5 so it should have the same hardiness. Pollinator attractor. Deer resistant.
