lavandula x intermedia 'grosso' (lavender)

$21.95

deep blue-purple, fragrant, spiked flowers
flower spikes are broader and longer than angustifolia ('ellagance purple', 'hidcoat blue', 'munstead' and 'superblue') types
gray-green, scented foliage
compact, mounding, shrub-like habit
can be shaped for low, border hedges
bloom time: july to september

lavandula grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun
excess, winter moisture may cause the stem to rot and hot, humid summers may cause the leaves to blacken and the plant to deteriorate
prune flower stalks to encourage more blooms
in the spring, prune plants to the desired size or back to the old woody stems, to promote vigorous growth and keep a dense, compact habit
please note: lavenders should never be pruned harder than half way down the stems
because of its strong scent, plants can be added throughout the garden to deter insects
in mild climates lavenders are evergreen
more disease resistant than the angustifolia species ('ellagance purple', 'hidcoat blue', 'munstead' and 'superblue')
