Lavandula Grosso

5

Lavandula Grosso is a larger Lavender variety that grows compactly and carries masses of long, dark blue flower spikes through spring and summer. The foliage is green with a touch of grey and complements the flowers nicely as it grows to 75 cm tall and the same wide. Lavandula Grosso is commonly used in cottage gardens, included in mixed plantings and borders, trimmed into a low hedge, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container. It is also well suited to mass planting on a bank or using as a groundcover and in both cases produces a stunning display.

Why Choose Lavandula Grosso?

Lavandula Grosso stands out for its superior resilience and showy summer blooms. These plants thrive in New Zealand’s varied climate, producing dense mounds of aromatic silvery foliage topped with tall, richly-scented flower spikes. Grosso lavender is a favourite for hedges, borders, and mass plantings, loved for attracting beneficial pollinators and requiring minimal upkeep once established. Its generous supply of blossoms is perfect for cutting, drying, or distilling for oils and crafts.

Looking to add more colour and life alongside your Grosso lavender? Plant it with companions such as Lavandula Razzleberry Ruffles (Pink Lavender) for a burst of pink, or Lavandula Lavance Purple for lush, compact mounds of violet-blue.

How to Grow and Care for Grosso Lavender

To get the best out of your Grosso lavender, choose a sunny, free-draining spot—these plants love the heat and dislike wet feet. Space each plant about 60cm apart for healthy airflow and lush growth. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Once established, Grosso lavender is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.

For shape and health, prune back spent flower stems and one third of new growth each autumn, but avoid cutting into woody stems. This keeps the plant tidy and encourages vigorous blooming year after year.
