No. Lavandula × intermedia is a hybrid species derived from Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia, both of which are native to the Mediterranean region. ‘Grosso’ is a cultivated variety, widely grown for its fragrance and flowers, but it is not native and provides limited ecological value in North American landscapes.
‘Grosso’ is known for producing long, dense spikes of deep purple flowers with intensely aromatic foliage, blooming from mid- to late summer. It is one of the most fragrant lavenders, often used for essential oil production, dried arrangements, and pollinator gardens. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide, forming a rounded, mounded shape.
Grosso Lavender thrives in full sun and requires well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil. It is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, though winter protection may be needed in colder zones. It prefers dry, sandy, or rocky soil and suffers in wet or heavy clay soils. Avoid overwatering, and prune in late summer or early fall to maintain shape and vigor.
Yes. While non-native, Grosso Lavender’s highly fragrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators throughout its bloom period. However, it does not serve as a host plant for native insects and offers limited habitat value. It is best used as a nectar source alongside native perennials in pollinator gardens.
Yes. Grosso Lavender is highly deer- and rabbit-resistant due to its strongly aromatic foliage. It is also low-maintenance, requiring little beyond annual pruning, good drainage, and minimal watering once established. It’s an ideal choice for dry borders, herb gardens, and drought-tolerant plantings.
