Grosso Certified Organic Lavender

Grosso Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia ‘Grosso’) is the world’s most widely planted lavender variety — the commercial standard for perfume and essential oil production across the lavender fields of Provence, the Pacific Northwest, and every major lavender-growing region worldwide. The bold, intensely fragrant violet-blue flower spikes on long, graceful stems bloom in mid-to-late summer in a generous display that fills the garden with fragrance and draws bees and butterflies in abundance. Silvery evergreen foliage provides year-round presence. USDA-Certified Organic, drought tolerant, deer resistant, and performing beautifully as a mass planting, fragrant hedge, or individual specimen. Perennial in Zones 5–9.

The World Standard for Lavender Fragrance and Oil

Grosso’s position as the world’s most widely grown lavender isn’t coincidence — it’s the result of genuinely exceptional essential oil content and fragrance intensity that surpasses most other varieties. The same qualities that make it the commercial perfume and essential oil standard make it the finest choice for home sachets, dried bundles, culinary preparations, and any application where lavender fragrance is the goal. The bold violet-blue spikes on long stems are also outstanding for fresh and dried cut flower arrangements.

Mid-to-Late Summer Bloom — Extending the Lavender Season

Grosso’s mid-to-late summer bloom timing comes after most English lavenders have finished — extending the lavender season in the garden and providing succession color and fragrance for those who plant multiple varieties. The tall, upright habit and bold flower heads make it more visually imposing than compact English lavender varieties, and the long-stemmed spikes are particularly well-suited for cutting and bundling.

USDA-Certified Organic — Mass Planting and Hedge Performance

Every Stark Bro’s Grosso Lavender arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. It performs at its best in mass plantings and fragrant hedges where the collective fragrance is genuinely extraordinary — a wall of violet-blue with a scent that carries on the breeze.
