Hidcote Lavender Herb Plant

Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote', or Hidcote English Lavender, is a beloved and aromatic addition to any garden. This compact cultivar is renowned for its deep purple flower spikes that rise above silvery-gray foliage, creating a stunning visual and olfactory display. Typically growing to a height and width of 18-24 inches, Hidcote Lavender is perfect for borders, rock gardens, and formal herb gardens.

One of the most appealing aspects of Hidcote Lavender is its ability to attract a wide range of pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to support local wildlife. The plant's intense fragrance is not only pleasing to humans but also acts as a natural deterrent to deer and rabbits, adding to its practicality in the garden.

When it comes to cultivation, Hidcote Lavender is prized for its drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, preferring slightly alkaline conditions. Once established, it requires minimal watering and care. To maintain its compact shape and encourage reblooming, it's recommended to prune lightly after the first flowering and more heavily in early spring.

Companion planting can enhance the beauty and effectiveness of Hidcote Lavender in the garden. Consider pairing it with other sun-loving, drought-tolerant plants that complement its color and texture. Some excellent companions include Echinacea (Coneflowers), Salvia, Sedum, ornamental grasses, Rosemary, and roses for a classic cottage garden look.
