Lavender 'Grosso'

One of the best lavenders for home gardeners and commercial growers alike, Lavender ‘Grosso’ is the go-to variety for those who love rich fragrance, bold colour, and long-lasting blooms. This French hybrid is renowned for its high oil content, making it a favourite for drying, potpourri, and essential oils. With silvery-green foliage and tall, deep violet flower spikes, ‘Grosso’ creates a stunning feature in garden beds, borders, and pots. Its strong, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for low hedging, while its drought tolerance ensures it thrives in tough conditions. Even better? It’s a magnet for bees and beneficial pollinators, helping to boost biodiversity in your garden.
How to grow

Lavenders are known for being hardy plants that survive in hot dry conditions, however, they really thrive with a little water over extended dry periods and annual pruning. Plant in full sun for maximum flowering, in a free-draining soil. Lavenders do not like wet feet or humidity, so raise garden beds if necessary to improve drainage. Improve soil prior to planting and add a little lime to increase pH to 6-8. Lavender will tolerate part shade, but plants may not be as vigorous as their neighbours in full sun. Plant as a hedge, use to attract bees and beneficial insects to your garden or grow in pots, lavenders are a reliable flowering addition in most Australian gardens.
