Grosso Lavender

Lavender 'Grosso' (Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso') is one of the most fragrant and robust lavender varieties, prized for its long, deep purple flower spikes and high oil content. Blooming from mid to late summer, 'Grosso' produces masses of vibrant, aromatic flowers on tall, slender stems that are perfect for cutting, drying, or using in sachets, wreaths, and essential oils. Its silver-gray foliage adds year-round texture and contrast to garden beds, borders, and containers, making it a must-have for anyone seeking both beauty and functionality in the landscape. This vigorous lavender cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soil, and it performs exceptionally well in hot, dry conditions. Lavender 'Grosso' is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for xeriscaping, Mediterranean-style gardens, and low-maintenance perennial borders. It's also highly deer- and rabbit-resistant and attracts a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. With a mature height of 24 to 36 inches and a tidy, mounding habit, 'Grosso' lavender adds fragrance, movement, and a burst of rich color to any sunny outdoor space. Perfect for USDA Zones 5–9, Lavender 'Grosso' is easy to grow and maintain with light pruning and minimal fertilization. It pairs beautifully with other sun-loving, drought-tolerant plants like yarrow, salvia, and ornamental grasses. Whether you’re designing a water-wise garden, a fragrant herb bed, or simply adding elegance to your patio pots, 'Grosso' lavender offers long-lasting blooms, aromatic foliage, and exceptional garden performance year after year.
