Description

Highly popular, English Lavender ‘Hidcote’ is a free flowering variety that is prized by most gardeners for its long lasting and delightful scent as well as the fashion in which its dark purple flower spikes beautifully contrast with its blue-green evergreen foliage. Hidcote is a perfect choice for low hedges, edging or for borders. Excellent for crafts and dried flowers as it retains its color. Blooms once in late spring or early summer. Lavenders blooming once may have a second, smaller flush of flowers during the season and maybe a third one if the flowers are cut soon enough. Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society”
