Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' is a compact English lavender with deep purple flower spikes and silvery-green, aromatic foliage. It makes a classic low hedge, border edging or container plant.
- Deep purple, fragrant flower spikes in summer
- Silvery-grey evergreen foliage
- Compact, bushy habit that suits edging
- Pack of 18 plants in 12cm pots, 15-25cm tall as supplied
- Popular with bees and butterflies
Plant in full sun in free-draining soil. Wet, heavy ground is the usual cause of failure in Ireland, so add grit on clay or grow in raised beds and pots. Trim lightly after flowering each year, taking care not to cut back into old bare wood.
Supplied as young plants in growing pots, shipped directly from our partner growers. Plants are living products, so size and shape can vary slightly from the photo.
