Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso' is a robust lavender variety with large deep violet flower spikes, earning it the nickname 'Fat Lavender.' Ideal for wands or sachets, the fragrant flowers maintain color when dried.

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.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.

Absolutely top-knotch
Format: Kindle
9.5/10 This is the pinnacle of Star Wars comic books. A great way to tie in their Indiana Jones character in Aphra and the mainline series to tell an amazing story. Only complaint is a couple of the issues artwork I was not a fan of. I like the more realistic look. Just make sure you read Aphra book 1 and the previous SW books to understand it better. Aphra book 1 being more important

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.

Luke and Doctor Aphra team up!
Format: Paperback
This is the second crossover event in the Marvel Star Wars comics. It brings the ongoing Doctor Aphra and Star Wars series together. I liked the pairing of Luke with Aphra. They play well off of each other with Luke's naive goodness and Aphra's experienced gray morality. I liked when she called him a wannabe padawan. There are some well designed characters in this comic. The residents of the Screaming Citadel have a goth bdsm vibe. Luke even gets to dress up. I liked seeing him in something different. I want to know more about Sana and Aphra's past!!! Please, Marvel, make a queer love story prequel!!! The murder droids are wonderful. Having them on the same side as the "good guys" for at least the time being led to some funny situations. The last panel intrigued me. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. I am always here for more Doctor Aphra!
