Purple Lavandin

About this plant

Purple Lavandin, also known as Lavandula X Intermedia 'Grosso', is a highly prized lavender cultivar renowned for its intensely fragrant, deep purple flower spikes and robust growth. This exceptional perennial forms dense, mounding clumps of silvery-green foliage, providing textural interest even when not in bloom. Its long, sturdy flower stems make it ideal for cutting, drying, and crafting aromatic sachets, bringing the essence of a Mediterranean garden into your home. 'Grosso' is a favorite for mass plantings, borders, and herb gardens, attracting a host of beneficial pollinators while deterring deer. Its classic lavender scent and striking color make it a truly essential addition to any sunny garden.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Lavender 'Grosso' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Amend heavy soils with sand or grit to improve drainage. Prune in early spring, removing spent flower stalks and shaping the plant to encourage bushy growth and maximize flowering. Avoid overwatering once established.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
