About the Plant:
Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops of a hybrid of Lavender and Spike True Lavender grows at high altitudes, while Spike Lavender prospers at lower altitudes on the same sunny hills and slopes of Spain. When these two plants flower simultaneously and cross-pollinate, they create the hybrid Lavandula x intermedia. Lavandin produces a bigger yield and thus is less expensive. It can yield up to three times more essential oils as true lavender.
Where It Grows:
Native to the mountainous regions of southern France, where both parent plants grow wild. Lavandin Grosso has good cold hardiness for a French hybrid and thrives in areas that have well-drained soils. This is why it is mainly cultivated in France, Spain, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Argentina.
Traditional Uses and Lore:
Lavandin is a hybrid plant produced in France that is very popular in soup, perfumes, and cosmetics. Lavandin can be produced in big quantities and the scent lasts longer, making it a good choice for cosmetics.

Lavandin Grosso Organic Essential Oil is a strong-smelling hybrid species of lavender that is most commonly used in perfumery. Lavandin Grosso has many health benefits which make it a great medicinal herb because of the true lavender properties.* It can help with wound healing, mood-lifting properties as well as respiratory soothing qualities!*
Lavandin Grosso is one of two siblings spawned by the parent plants True Lavender and Spike Lavender. It contains more terpenes and monoterpenes than that of its “sister” (Lavandin Sweet), which gives it a more camphoraceous aroma and slightly more medicinal potency. Lavandin Grosso is the highest yielding of all these plant relatives making it the most affordable and accessible in the family. It shares many of the same therapeutic benefits as its parent and sister plants, the one main exception being that it does not exhibit the same burn-healing abilities as True Lavender.
