Product Description

Lavender Hidcote Blue (Lavandula angustifolia) is one of the most popular and recognisable lavender varieties, valued for its intense flower colour and strong fragrance. The deep blue flower spikes rise above silvery-green foliage, creating a striking contrast that enhances both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

With its naturally compact and tidy growth habit, this hardy shrub is perfect for planting along pathways, as border edging or forming a low hedge. When brushed against, the aromatic foliage releases its calming scent, making it ideal for seating areas and garden walkways.

The flowers can be cut and dried for use in pot-pourri or to scent drawers and wardrobes, extending their appeal well beyond the flowering season. Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established, Hidcote Blue is a reliable and rewarding choice for gardeners of all abilities.
