LAVENDER GROSSO

Lavender Grosso

lavandula intermedia Grosso


 The lavender grosso plant is one of the more fragrant varieties of lavender, and like the lavender edelweiss is a hybrid variety with long leaves, and the potential to become a large plant. The lavender grosso has a potential height of 60cm, and the flowers spheres are tall and straight, which can offer a fantastic display of flowers throughout the summer. Generally I find the lavender grosso to be one of the first lavender to flower each year and look great as specimens.

Lavender grosso is thought to have 70% more oil than English varieties of lavender which make it ideal for fragrance as well as pot pourri and lavender products.
