My opinion .. the best Lavenders for infusion are Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula stoechas .. and the Grosso you mention is not a Lavender. its a Lavandin .. Lavandula hybrida .. but I reckon it would be fine for infusion. :-) > Thanks for all your help. > Cheryl Wackum fer'shur.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hi Butch, Thank you. Lavendula Angustifolia is my biggest plant that tends to wander off in my pathway. So this one is ripe and ready for cuttings.Grosso is rather new one I planted a couple of years ago but, I don't think I have Stoechas. I wonder if I can find one. Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hi Kathleen,I am basically using it for my own lotions and soaping it also. Love the unfused oils in both end products.
