Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso' is a world-famous, sterile hybrid lavender prized for its exceptionally strong fragrance, long sturdy flower spikes, and abundant, deep violet-blue blooms. This vigorous Lavandin cultivar forms a dense, upright, mounding shrub of aromatic, gray-green to silvery-green foliage (leaves emerge green, aging to silvery-gray). From mid to late summer, it produces an impressive display of long, thick, densely packed flower spikes rising well above the foliage, covered in small, tubular, deep violet-blue flowers. The flowers are renowned for their intense, camphor-rich lavender fragrance, making 'Grosso' one of the most popular lavenders for commercial essential oil production, dried buds (culinary or sachets), and cut flowers. Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, it also has excellent tolerance for heat, drought, deer, and poor, well-drained soils. It is an outstanding choice for low hedges, borders, mass plantings, slopes, and containers.
