Product Description
2/L. x intermedia. Grosso
Grosso produces compact conical spikes which while dark purple when fresh dry to a steely silver mauve. As a premiere essential oil producer Grosso’s dry florets have an intensely refreshing and stimulating aroma. As with all our oil plants Grosso florets are great for pot pourri or any other application where a strong fragrance is needed. The camphor and cineole content of lavandin plants make their florets stimulating inclusions in body scrubs and as botanical inclusion in hand crafted soaps. Grosso’s sculptural spikes also make them wonderful when used in floral arrangements. Bunches are available on request.
