Hidcote Certified Organic Lavender
Description
About Hidcote Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ is a dwarf-sized English lavender prized for its vivid, deep purple flower spikes and intoxicating fragrance. This compact, mounded variety stays neat and shrub-like, making it ideal for small spaces, borders, rock gardens, and containers. The blooms are beloved by pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds, while the gray-green foliage adds year-round ornamental interest.
Hidcote lavender is also valued for its culinary and crafting versatility—the fragrant flowers and foliage can be used dried or fresh in teas, sachets, potpourri, and recipes. This organically grown herb’s intensely aromatic oil has long been used for natural wellness and relaxation.
Resistant to deer and rabbits, tolerant of drought, and visually striking, Hidcote makes a smart and beautiful addition to any sunny landscape.
Easy Care Tips for Hidcote Lavender
Plant in full sun and well-draining soil—lavender dislikes wet feet. Space plants about 18–24 inches apart to allow airflow and prevent mildew. Water deeply during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce watering; this variety thrives on neglect once mature. Prune back by one-third after blooming to prevent woody stems and maintain a dense, rounded shape. Hardy in Zones 5–9.
