Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ is a compact and highly fragrant English lavender, renowned for its deep purple flower spikes and aromatic silvery-grey foliage. It brings charm, structure, and fragrance to sunny flower beds, borders, and rockeries.
It forms a compact and well-branched plant, ideal for creating uniform borders or Mediterranean-style mass plantings. Its summer bloom abundantly attracts bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for a pollinator garden.
Very drought-tolerant once established, 'Hidcote' lavender prefers well-drained, even slightly poor soils, and full sun exposure. It is also deer-resistant, an important advantage for Quebec gardens.
