Add To CartThere are lots of Lavenders out there but this one will stand out from the crowd with its long, silver-gray foliage that looks more robust than other types. This foliage lines up along upright, densely held stems and forms a large, fragrant, rounded bush that carries sweet scented, lavender colored flower spikes on branch tips from mid-June through mid-August. Grosso is a profuse bloomer and a strong, dependable landscape performer providing that the location where its planted is extremely well-drained and devoid of standing water, especially in the winter months. Plant it in groups and be sure to cut and dry plenty since the foliage and flowers will retain their great aroma in arrangements and potpourris! Foliage and flowers will add flavor to candy or ice cream while foliage is used widely in teas, oils, sachets, perfumes, and potpourris.

Growing Tips for Lavandula x intermedia ''Grosso''
Lavender thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Water regularly but avoid over-watering; they are drought-tolerant once established. Prune in early spring, removing deadwood and shaping plants. Harvest flowers just as they begin to open for the best fragrance. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
