Description

Nothing Frames A Path Or Border With Colour And Fragrance Quite Like A Traditional English Lavender Hedge In Full Summer Flower!

Polished, beautifully structured planting seen in some of Britain's most impressive gardens. 'Hidcote' is compact, with aromatic foliage that forms a low silvery-grey line, followed in early to midsummer by masses of intensely purple flower spikes.

Plant a row beside a path to enjoy that unmistakable lavender perfume. Use it to edge borders, define separate areas of the garden or surround beds in a formal parterre or knot-garden design. Planted approximately 25cm apart, the individual plants will gradually knit together to create a continuous, fragrant hedge.

'Hidcote' is particularly valued for its rich flower colour and powerful scent. The blooms are also irresistible to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects, transforming a simple boundary into a lively ribbon of summer activity.

Hardy and naturally compact, it becomes drought tolerant once established. Plant in a sunny position with freely draining soil, then trim lightly after flowering and again in spring to maintain a dense, tidy shape. Flowering stems can also be cut and dried for fragrant indoor displays.

Top Tips
In late summer, clip the plants back lightly after the flowers have faded. Cut the stems back by a few inches, but not so far that the stems are bare of live foliage, and plants will then have time to produce new shoots before winter dormancy.
Care Information
  • These drought-tolerant plants thrive in sunny borders, containers, herb or gravel gardens.
  • Lavender can be planted at any time of the year, as long as soil conditions are not frozen or waterlogged, but for best results plant between April and May when the soil is starting to warm up.
  • Lavender thrives in most free-draining soils in full sun. Heavier soils should have some grit added to improve drainage and to open them up.
  • Space plants 90cm apart, or if growing a hedge, 25cm apart or, 45cm for larger cultivars.
  • Lavender can be grown in large pots, 30-40cm diameter, using a multipurpose or loam-based compost, with some extra coarse grit, roughly a third, to improve drainage, along with some controlled release fertiliser granules.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
