Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote' | Hidcote English Lavender
DESCRIPTION
Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' is a compact, evergreen shrub with aromatic gray-green foliage and deep purple-blue flowers. Blooming in early to mid-summer, the flowers form dense spikes that rise above the foliage, adding color to garden beds, borders, and containers. The plant's fragrant blossoms are often used in herbal arrangements, sachets, and oils, making it both a decorative and functional addition to the garden.
Originating from the Mediterranean region, 'Hidcote' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance or xeriscaped gardens. Its small size and compact growth habit make it ideal for smaller spaces, while its ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies adds ecological value.
