Key Features

  • Deep purple flower spikes appear from early to mid-summer, creating striking seasonal colour

  • Highly fragrant blooms and foliage, widely used in the fragrance and dried flower market

  • Attractive silvery-grey evergreen foliage provides structure year-round

  • Excellent for attracting bees, butterflies, and pollinators

  • Ideal for borders, pathways, hedging, knot gardens, and containers

  • RHS Award of Garden Merit and recognised as an RHS Plant for Pollinators

Product Description

Lavender ‘Hidcote’ (Lavandula angustifolia) is one of the most popular and reliable English lavender varieties, loved for its intense fragrance and rich violet-purple blooms. The elegant flower spikes rise above neat mounds of silvery-grey foliage, creating a beautiful contrast that enhances both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

Flowering from early to mid-summer, this compact lavender produces masses of aromatic blooms that fill the garden with scent while attracting beneficial pollinators. The flowers are excellent for cutting or drying, making them perfect for fragrant indoor displays, potpourri, and craft projects.

Growing to around 60cm tall, Lavender ‘Hidcote’ is ideal for planting along paths, borders, or as a low hedge, where its scent can be enjoyed when brushed past. Once established it becomes very drought tolerant, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for sunny gardens.
