Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Grosso Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso')
Grosso lavender is a hybrid variety of lavender that is sterile and cannot produce viable seeds. Therefore, it relies on pollination by bees and other insects to produce new plants through vegetative propagation.
The flowers of Grosso lavender are composed of a tubular-shaped calyx that surrounds the corolla. The calyx has five lobes, with the uppermost lobe forming a distinctive "helmet" shape. The corolla is tubular and has two lips, with the upper lip formed by two fused petals and the lower lip formed by three fused petals.
When a bee or other insect lands on the flower, the weight of the insect causes the keel of the corolla to bend downwards, exposing the reproductive structures of the flower. The bee then collects the nectar and pollen from the anthers, which are located at the top of the flower's reproductive column.
The pollen grains of Grosso lavender are sticky and adhere to the body of the bee, which then transfers the pollen to other flowers as it visits them. This process of cross-pollination ensures genetic diversity and promotes plant health and vigor.
