Grosso French Lavender

Lavandula intermedia 'Grosso'

Intermedia Lavandula The traditional French hybrid lavender variety "Grosso" is grown for its strong growth habit and aromatic dark blue flower spikes. 'Grosso' is a huge grower and blooms heavily, producing a generous crop of flowers for lavender wands, sachets, and culinary use. It has lovely wide gray-green foliage. After the English lavender has finished blossoming in the early summer, this exceptional honeybee plant produces flowers in the middle of the summer.
