Lavandula Hidcote

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’, commonly known as English Lavender, is one of the world’s most loved lavender varieties, prized for its intensely fragrant deep violet flowers and compact tidy growth habit. Flowering from late spring through summer, this classic lavender produces masses of richly coloured flower spikes above soft silver-green foliage, creating stunning colour and fragrance in the garden.

Originally selected in England and renowned for its excellent garden performance, ‘Hidcote’ is considered one of the best forms of English lavender for hedging, borders and cottage gardens. Its compact shape and long-lasting blooms make it equally suited to formal planting, containers and low-maintenance landscape designs.

Highly attractive to bees and beneficial pollinators, English Lavender ‘Hidcote’ also performs beautifully as a cut flower and can be harvested for drying, potpourri and fragrant garden displays. Hardy, drought tolerant and easy to grow, this timeless favourite thrives in New Zealand gardens.
