Lavender Hidcote Blue – Fragrant English Lavender with Deep Purple Summer Flowers
Lavender 'Hidcote Blue' is one of the most popular English lavender varieties, producing beautiful deep blue-purple flower spikes above aromatic silver-green foliage throughout summer. This compact evergreen shrub is perfect for adding colour, fragrance, and structure to borders, pathways, containers, and cottage garden planting schemes.
Supplied as a healthy established 5L plant, Lavender Hidcote is garden-ready and easy to grow. Its highly scented flowers attract bees, butterflies, and pollinating insects, while its drought-tolerant nature makes it an excellent low-maintenance choice for sunny gardens.
