Lavandula angustifolia Hidcote is a classic variety of English lavender renowned for its highly fragrant, violet-blue flowers that gracefully rise above compact, silvery-grey foliage. This bushy dwarf evergreen shrub is a garden favourite, offering a stunning display of deep purple buds on upright stems, perfectly complemented by its narrow, aromatic leaves. Lavender Hidcote is ideal for creating an attractive hedge or edging, bringing a touch of elegance and fragrance to any outdoor space.

Thriving in full sun to part shade, it is remarkably hardy, withstanding frost and dry conditions with ease. Its preference for well-drained soil makes it a versatile choice for gardeners looking to enhance their landscapes with a beautiful and resilient plant. With a medium growth rate, this lavender reaches a mature height and spread of 60cm, making it an excellent option for hot, dry areas where maintaining vibrant, healthy plants can be challenging. The rich violet-blue flowers not only add a splash of colour but also attract friendly pollinators, enriching the biodiversity of your garden.

For those looking to create eye-catching displays or embark on a lavender hedge project, enjoy free delivery with our 24-pack of Lavender Munstead in 7cm pots. To maintain its compact shape and encourage robust growth, a post-flowering trim is recommended, ensuring it continues to thrive and enchant for years to come.

Trimming: Trim lightly after the first flowering in late spring or early summer to encourage a second flowering. In late summer or early autumn, cut back harder, removing about one-third of the plant to maintain a compact shape, but avoid cutting into old wood.

Deadheading: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to extend the flowering season and promote continuous flowering.

Fertilising: Lavender Hidcote prefers poor to moderately fertile soil. Avoid heavy fertilisation; a light application of balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring is sufficient.

Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, Lavender Hidcote is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot.

Pest Control: Generally pest-free, but keep an eye out for aphids and spittlebugs. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap if necessary.

Disease Management: Watch for signs of root rot and fungal diseases, especially in poorly draining soil. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to minimise fungal issues. If root rot occurs, improve soil drainage and remove affected plants.
