Lavender cross-media The improved, simple-to-grow variety "Sensational!" (French Hybrid Lavender) has robust stems, silver foliage, and extraordinarily enormous flower spikes on a compact shape. The majority of lavender types have aromatic flowers and foliage, and 'Sensational' is no exception. It will grow well in hot, sunny, and dry circumstances, but is also a fantastic option for gardeners in the Eastern US because it can tolerate both humid heat and moist, cold spring soil.
