Phenomenal French Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia 'Niko')

Phenomenal French Lavender, Lavandula x intermedia 'Niko', is a vigorous, sun loving French hybrid lavender known for its strong garden performance, long flower wands, and fragrant gray green foliage. Plants form a broad, mounded shrub that stays attractive through heat, humidity, and cold, then cover themselves in tall, violet blue flower spikes in summer. With its robust habit, reliable bloom, and classic lavender scent, Phenomenal French Lavender works beautifully as a focal point, low hedge, or high impact accent along paths, in borders, and in large containers.

Distinctive Features

Phenomenal French Lavender typically grows about 24 to 32 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide, forming a rounded, shrub like clump with a framework of woody stems and a full crown of leafy shoots. Long, sturdy flower stalks rise above the foliage and carry dense spikes of violet blue florets, creating a broad wash of color and movement when the plant is in bloom. Narrow, gray green leaves provide fine texture and a silvery cast that blends easily with stone, gravel, and a wide range of flowering companions. Bred for strong vigor and improved tolerance of challenging conditions, this variety is a good choice where you want a dependable lavender that holds up in real garden settings.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, fragrance, and a compact, sturdy habit.
  • Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoid heavy, wet ground and favor sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
  • Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
  • Hardiness: Well suited to many temperate regions where French hybrid lavenders are grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
  • Size: Generally forms a mound about 24 to 32 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily and develops a substantial presence without quickly outgrowing beds or large containers.

Ideal Uses

  • Bold Focal Point: Use as a single specimen or in small groups in sunny borders and herb gardens where the tall flower wands and strong scent create a natural focal point.
  • Edging and Low Hedges: Plant in a row along paths, drives, or terrace edges to form a low, fragrant hedge of gray green foliage and violet blue blooms.
  • Containers and Patio Pots: Well suited to large pots and tubs where the mounded form and tall flower spikes add height, scent, and movement around outdoor seating areas.
  • Herb and Cutting Gardens: Ideal in spaces dedicated to herbs and cut flowers, providing long stems for fresh bouquets and drying projects.
  • Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, ornamental grasses, and other sun lovers for relaxed cottage combinations, or set into gravel and stone for a dry, Mediterranean inspired look.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root and crown problems.
  • Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and shape the mound; avoid cutting back into old, bare wood below the leafy growth.
  • Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
  • Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
  • Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep the plant compact and productive.

Why Choose Phenomenal French Lavender?

  • Strong Garden Performance: Bred for vigor and reliability, handling sun, heat, and challenging conditions better than many traditional lavenders.
  • Long, Showy Flower Spikes: Tall, violet blue blooms give impressive height and movement and are excellent for cutting and drying.
  • Intense Fragrance: Highly scented flowers and foliage make it a top choice for scented garden paths, patios, and indoor projects.
  • Bold Color and Form: Large mound of gray green foliage and tall flower wands provide a classic lavender look on a bigger scale.
  • Versatile Design Use: Works as a focal shrub, low hedge, mass planting, or feature in herb and cottage gardens wherever you want strong color, fragrance, and structure in full sun.

With its vigorous, mounded habit, long violet blue flower spikes, and intense fragrance, Phenomenal French Lavender is an excellent choice for adding bold color, scent, and a reliable focal point to sunny borders, hedges, cutting gardens, and large containers.

Weak pole
Color: Cerulean
I don’t think it’s going to hold up to any windy conditions. Moves even in light breeze. Needs a stronger pole for the 10ft size I believe.

Like Holding a Jet Engine
This WORX WG520 12 Amp Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower is an excellent, and powerful product that does as advertised and completely blasts away whatever it's pointed at. I got this product mostly to use as a drying aid when washing my cars, but also to just to clear off the backyard patio and blow out the garage occasionally. For this use-case this product has been absolutely stellar. I 3D printed a smaller nozzle that has a more directed, concentrated flow of air for when I'm using this to dry off my car and it has worked much better than the standard long nozzle, I saw some for sale before deciding to DIY with my own 3D printer, and it was a great way to save some money and make this even more effective at car drying. The power this has at full speed is absolutely incredible, it almost feels like it's about to fly away and I have to really clamp down on gripping it. This isn't for the weak of heart, controlling this without banging it against your car will take some time to get used to especially if you aren't a frequent gym goer. This has worked for everything I've needed to use it for and the price was great as well for this level of performance. It may not be as portable as a cordless blower, but it is certainly far more powerful than any cordless blower I've used in the past. The one thing I'll mention is make sure you have a good heavy duty extension cord to power this, 12 awg would be ideal especially if you're using a longer extension cord, you certainly don't want to burn out the motor by starving this thing of power with a 16 awg cord or something like that. Overall, I'm very impressed by this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an insanely powerful blower, this thing is like holding on to a jet engine. 5/5 stars.

Simple, Powerful Blower
Received the blower as expected in a timely manner. Have only used it for one day but pleasantly surprised. It is heavier but easily outperforms my previous corded blower. This is a large, simple, seriously powerful blower. No vacuum attachments, bags, etc. IMO the power is similar to gas powered units. Mine had a variable speed control which is very nice and for the power level it is unexpectedly quiet. Only one possible con to note, it is a 12A motor so a good heavy gauge extension cord is needed, especially for long runs.

Good power
INITIAL REVIEW: Advertising: The blower looks exactly as it does in the photos (despite the cheesy photo shopped images). I do not have any special equipment to test the 600CFM claim, but it seems pretty powerful from what I've tested thus far. All the features, which I'll go into further detail below, are also exactly as described. Shipping & Item condition: Arrived on time in a large box and in good working condition with no damaging. Price: $45.93 - Pretty reasonable considering the competition can reach upwards of a few hundred dollars. Build Quality/Durability: This blower is made from durable hard plastics. It makes it pretty lightweight when you're holding it at your side and sweeping from side to side. The listing states that it's 6.4 pounds and it certainly feels about that weight. I was able to use it for 10-20 minutes and not experience any fatigue unless i was trying to lift it up. This is just an initial review, so time will tell if it will withstand multiple years of use. Performance: Holy cow does this thing blow! (and I mean that in the good way). There is quite a bit of force that is exerted. So much so, that it surprised me when I turned it on the first time and noticed the "kick" on my hand. It's somewhat loud, so I'd recommend wearing ear protection if you're going to be using it for long periods of time. That being said, I've owned vacuums and small blowers that have just about the same amount of loudness, so I'd place this on par. I'm glad that I opted for the corded version instead of the battery one. Sure the cords are annoying, but I feel that the battery wouldn't last long due to the output it requires. That being said, I don't have an overly huge lawn, so an extension cord works just fine for me. If you've got a much bigger area to cover, I would consider a gas-powered blower. I simply don't trust the battery-powered blowers would last long enough for you, and the cords could be quite the hassle if you're having to walk pretty far out. Design/Features: I like that the nozzle has a large opening rather than a small one. I feel like that does a better job and pushing the leaves and grass out of the way than one that has a more concentrated area (despite the fact that it would exert more force). I also use it to blow out the dust and dirt from my garage. That saves me a ton of time vs having to sweep and kick up dust everywhere. I haven't tried using it to dry my car yet, but I'd imagine that it would work pretty well for that application. A feature I love is the quick and easy dial that you can use to adjust the outputting force. Sometimes I want to blow it at maximum speed to get all the grass clippings off the driveway, and other times I want to simply clean off a chair or something light without having to lift it up into space. The cord retainer is a nice feature. Without it, I found myself accidentally unplugging my extension cord quite a bit. A small touch, but the handle is angled upward, so when you're holding your arm down in a relaxed position, the blower is angled in the opposite direction (downward) which is nice. I don't need to "push" the blower down at an angle, thus causing forearm strain. I don't use it, but I like that the nozzle can be removed for more compact storage if need-be. Lastly, I'd say that I honestly just plain like the way it looks. It's cool that you can see the turbine working through the transparent orange plastic area, and it has a nice color scheme and graphics. Overall: I'm pretty impressed thus far. This guy is cheap, light, and powerful. It's fun to use. So much so that I find myself looking for leaves to blow, or dirt to move out of the way just so I can spend more time with it. I would definitely recommend this blower if you have a small to average sized yard. 1-year UPDATE: I've had this leaf blower for over a year now, and it still performs fantastically. It makes quick work of my grass and leaf clippings and doesn't mess around. It's one of the better products in my lawn care maintenance line-up, so I still highly recommend!
