Lavandin ‘Bleu de Collins’ is a French selection that carries the spirit of ‘Grosso’ but with even deeper purple buds and flowers. It forms a broad, healthy shrub and produces long, sturdy stems that rise well above the foliage—perfect for harvesting.
Blooming heavily in July, this variety fills the garden with fragrance and color at the height of summer. The long stems make it especially well suited for lavender wands, dried bundles, and craft projects, where length and strength matter. The fragrance is bold and classic—what most people imagine when they think of lavender fields.
Because of its size and vigor, ‘Bleu de Collins’ works best in open spaces, farm plantings, and larger gardens, where it can stretch out and perform without crowding.

What to Expect With Your Plants
What size plants will I receive?
Most plants ship in 2 3/8” x 3 3/4” band pots—ideal for healthy root growth.
Top growth varies by variety and season, but every plant arrives well-rooted, actively growing, and ready to plant.
Grown naturally without artificial heat or lights, our plants are hardy, adaptable, and ready to thrive in real garden conditions.
When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
Orders ship Monday–Wednesday via UPS or USPS (2–3 day service), so your plants arrive before the weekend and spend less time in transit. Shipping begins in spring—usually mid-April—when weather and plant health align, so your plants arrive strong, well-rooted, and ready to thrive.

We stand behind our plants and our packing process. While we can't control weather or how plants are cared for after arrival, we do guarantee that your plants will arrive healthy and in good condition. If there's an issue, just reach out and we're happy to help.

This is my first order with Charsaw. I’m excited for both varieties I selected as they have fragrance and rebloom! I went with 3 Bleu de Collins (apparently a more vibrant “Grosso”-type) and 5 Irene Doyle. I plan to pot up and let them get a bit bigger before placing in ground, maybe by next spring or autumn. Packaging was very secure, plants came in good condition with clear instructions. Good shipping updates and overall fair price!
