The Lavender Grosso (lavandula x intermedia grosso) is the most fragrant Lavender available on the market today. Honeybees and gardeners love this plant. Beyond the plant’s potent fragrance and bright purple blooms, the herbaceous perennial plants are loved for their heat tolerance and easy to grow nature. Lavender Grosso produces the darkest flowers of any Lavender Plant. Lavender Grosso is considered Lavandin which is a French hybrid lavender that is commonly grown in France and used in scenting perfumes and masachets. The plant boasts deep purple flower spikes that sit atop slim, but sturdy flower stems and bright green foliage. Ideal conditions for Lavender Grosso include full sun and a well draining soil medium. The Grosso strain is extremely drought tolerant as well as deer resistant and cold hardy. This stunning perennial will produce best results in USDA hardiness zones 5-8. French lavenders flower later than their English Lavender cousins. Mix French lavenders with English types such as Lavender Phenomenal to have months of fragrant lavender blooms. Growing lavender in the garden has so many uses beyond just its beauty in the garden. Cut and dry lavender heads for beautiful dried flower arrangements. Or use the lavender to add scents to potpourri, candles and soaps.
