Lavandula Angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ is a stunning, small variety of English Lavender. Beloved for its beautiful scent, pretty flower spikes and year round interest, this hardy shrub is a fantastic addition to a perennial or herbaceous border. Alternatively try planting on mass to line pathways or as a dwarf, informal hedge. Its compact, evergreen foliage is comprised of narrow silvery green leaves which are smothered in small, deep violet tubular flowers in Summer. The blooms emit a sweet scent, making it extremely attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Cuttings are often found in fresh flower arrangements or dried to make potpourris. ‘Hidcote’ is one of the most popular varieties of Lavendar and is a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding properties.
