Lavandula x intermedia 'Abrialii' (lavender)

Deep color, exceptionally long stems, and a generous harvest window.

Lavandula x intermedia ‘Abrialii’ is a highly regarded lavandin celebrated for its richly saturated violet blooms and notably long, elegant stems—a combination that makes it especially valuable for cutting, arranging, and drying. Its flower spikes are dense and tapered, with dark violet-green calyces supporting deep violet corollas that bring drama and depth to both fresh and dried displays.

Often compared to the popular ‘Grosso’, ‘Abrialii’ rivals it in both performance and beauty, while offering a slightly different expression of form and color. One of its standout qualities is its reliable tendency to rebloom in fall, extending the harvest season and allowing for multiple cuts in a single year under favorable conditions.

With a robust growth habit and prolific flowering, ‘Abrialii’ fills space beautifully in the garden or field while remaining tidy and manageable. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, is drought tolerant once established, and delivers consistently for growers seeking volume, fragrance, and visual impact. This is a lavender that feels generous—bold in color, productive in bloom, and dependable season after season.
