Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso' is a robust lavender variety with large deep violet flower spikes, earning it the nickname 'Fat Lavender.'

Sustainably grown in 2.75" pots

Choosing the Right Location

When selecting a location for Grosso Fat Spike Lavender, it's essential to choose a spot that receives full sunlight for at least 6 to 8 hours per day. This ensures optimal growth and flowering. Additionally, ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging, as lavender plants are susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions. Grosso Fat Spike Lavender thrives in slightly alkaline to neutral soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. If your soil is too acidic, consider amending it with lime to raise the pH level.

Planting Grosso Fat Spike Lavender

Transplant starts outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate airflow. Plant them at the same depth as they were in their nursery pots and water thoroughly after planting.

Watering and Care

Once established, Grosso Fat Spike Lavender is relatively drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water newly planted starts regularly to help them establish strong root systems, then gradually reduce the watering frequency as the plants mature. Avoid overwatering, as lavender plants are susceptible to root rot in waterlogged soil. Instead, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Mulching around the base of the plants helps retain soil moisture and suppresses weed growth.

Fertilizing

Grosso Fat Spike Lavender is not a heavy feeder and generally does not require frequent fertilization. However, you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and flowering. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Monitor the growth of your Grosso Fat Spike Lavender plants and adjust fertilization as needed based on their performance.

Pruning and Maintenance

Regular pruning helps maintain the compact growth habit and promotes abundant flowering in Grosso Fat Spike Lavender. Prune the plants lightly in early spring to remove any dead or damaged foliage and encourage new growth. After the first flush of flowers has faded, trim back the spent flower stems to promote reblooming. Avoid cutting into old wood, as this can damage the plants and inhibit regrowth. Additionally, prune Grosso Fat Spike Lavender plants lightly in the fall to tidy up the foliage and prepare them for winter dormancy.

Pest and Disease Management

Grosso Fat Spike Lavender is relatively pest and disease-resistant, but it may occasionally encounter problems such as aphids, spider mites, or fungal diseases. Monitor your plants regularly for signs of pest infestations or disease symptoms, and take appropriate action to control them. Insecticidal soap or neem oil can help eliminate aphids and other soft-bodied pests while pruning away affected foliage can prevent the spread of fungal diseases. Proper spacing and good airflow also help reduce the risk of pest and disease problems.

Overwintering

In regions with cold winters, Grosso Fat Spike Lavender may require protection from freezing temperatures. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants in late fall to insulate the roots and protect them from frost damage. Alternatively, you can grow Grosso Fat Spike Lavender in containers and overwinter them indoors in a cool, bright location until spring. With proper care and protection, Grosso Fat Spike Lavender can survive winter temperatures and thrive for many years in your garden.

Grosso Fat Spike Lavender is a beautiful and versatile herb that adds fragrance, color, and texture to any garden. By following the guidelines outlined in this guide and providing proper care and attention, you can cultivate healthy Grosso Fat Spike Lavender plants that will delight your senses and enhance your outdoor space. Whether used for culinary purposes, aromatherapy, or ornamental value, Grosso Fat Spike Lavender is a valuable addition to any garden.

2nd grade son's favorite book of all time!
Format: Paperback
So this is not classic children's literature with beautifully written passages a la The Velveteen Rabbit. This IS, however, the only book my 7 year old son has read repeatedly (6 times?) and BEGGED me to buy so that we would have our own copy when it was time to return it to the library. Santa brought him 3 gifts this year- a Cozmo robot, a drone, and this book- they were all displayed together. Guess which one elicited the first scream? "Sparks!!! Santa brought me Sparks!!!" This comic book is not Shakespeare for children but the story is creative and FUNNY, the illustrations are great, and boy does it keep my kids' attention (my 4th grade daughter also loves it, though not to the obsessive extent of my boy). Get it- your child will love it. This is not a book for YOU to read aloud- this is for the child to read on his/her own. So when The Wind in the Willows has them yawning, hand them this instead.

My son loved these books!
Format: Paperback
We found this book at the library. I was struggling to have my 7 year old read a book he was interested in. He started reading this and couldn't put it down. We bought the other two and he flew through reading them. He laughed and said it was such a good book that I need to read it. We have a pet cat named August so that was what peaked his interest and he loved that!

Wonderful book for all ages!
Format: Paperback
What a delightful book this is! So far I have ordered one for myself...and one for an 8 year old grandson. My 11 year old grandson has borrowed my copy, and so far I don't have it back, so I'll be needing to purchase another one! The story is funny and heartwarming and wonderfully original. The drawing is perfect for the characters and settings, all enhanced by the marvelous and vivid color. Buy this book! Everyone you know will appreciate it!

10 year old reluctant reader LOVES THIS BOOK!!!!
Format: Paperback
I'm constantly trying to find books to tempt my 10yr old reluctant reader. He LOVES this book!! He has been reading it outloud to our dogs, and at several points I could hear him absolutely cracking up. The artwork is fantastic, the plot is hilarious. Honestly I'm enjoying it as much as my son (and the dogs!). Yesterday he had a friend over.... and instead of making a beeline for the xbox as usual.... my son said, "let me show you my new book" and proceeds to read a particularly funny portion outloud. Both boys laughing. Truly, 5 stars. (PS author, please say you've already started the second installment??)
