Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' - 2026

Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' is a classic, compact evergreen perennial renowned for its intense violet-purple flower spikes and aromatic grey-green foliage. The upright flowers rise above neat, mounded clumps, creating a vibrant and structured display that works beautifully in borders, rockeries, and herb gardens. Its aromatic foliage enhances sensory appeal, while the tidy habit provides year-round form and interest.

This hardy lavender thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for sunny garden sites, mixed plantings, and container cultivation. Flowering from early to late summer, 'Hidcote' is valued for its low-maintenance growth, drought tolerance, and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its combination of vivid colour, long-lasting blooms, and aromatic foliage ensures it adds both ornamental and ecological value to a variety of planting schemes.
