Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote'

Lavender is undoubtedly a classic, tried-and-true perennial. 'Hidcote' was selected by Pam this season as one of her top picks, knowing you'll adore them just as much!

Lavandula ‘Hidcote’ is a true classic, and I love how its deep purple flowers and calming scent create a welcoming atmosphere as it lines my front garden bed. It’s a plant that brings beauty, peace, and a touch of timeless charm to every  garden.

Lavandula 'Hidcote' is commonly referred to as English Lavender and is noted for its silvery grey leaves and rich violet-blue flowers.

It's richly aromatic and the fragrance is so enticing, fruit growers often use this variety to attract pollinating bees to their fruit trees. For continual blooming be sure to trim back after first flush of blooms. Lavender is lovely for indoor arrangements: try it fresh or dried in home-made sachets & herb baskets. Lavender was used by ancient Greeks and Romans in their famous baths, and the name derives from "lavare," the Latin word for "wash." Drought-tolerant, easily grown and maintained, this plant deserves the adoration it receives worldwide.
