LAVENDULA X.INTERMEDIAS
Lavender, Grosso
The lavender of choice for potpourri and sachets. This is our favorite!
Most fragrant, most lovely, the lavender of lavenders. Mounded, shrubby cultivar grows to 30 inches tall, arrayed with alluring silver-green foliage and super-fragrant, extra-large, extra-tall 24”spikes clustered with deep-purple flowers. The lavender of choice for potpourri and sachets. Heat- and drought-resistant plants make for lovely and fragrant edging for walkways. Plants do best in well-drained soil and full sun. Massed in a border or hedge, plants retain their charm long after their blooms have faded.
