Seattle Seed Co. Dried French Lavender

French Grosso is a hybrid variety prized for its exceptionally high oil content, which gives it a more potent and long-lasting fragrance compared to other culinary or ornamental lavenders. It is the standard choice for dried arrangements because it retains its scent and deep purple color well over time.

With proper care, the scent typically remains noticeable for several months. To refresh the fragrance, you can gently squeeze the flower buds to release trapped essential oils, though the intensity will naturally fade over time.

Yes, because these are air-dried and high-quality stems, they are perfect for crafting. You can easily strip the buds from the stems to use in sachets, bath salts, or custom potpourri blends.

Dried lavender is delicate by nature and will shed some buds if handled roughly or placed in a high-traffic area. We recommend placing the bundle in a spot where it won't be frequently bumped to maintain its shape and minimize mess.

Keep the lavender out of direct sunlight and away from high-humidity areas like bathrooms, as moisture can cause the stems to soften or mold. A cool, dry location with good air circulation is ideal for preserving the integrity of the dried flowers.
