Lavender 'Hidcote' is a classic herb-garden staple, renowned for its intensely fragrant dark purple flower spikes and beautifully scented grey-green foliage. This compact, bushy variety is ideal for culinary and herbal use, producing aromatic blooms perfect for drying, homemade teas, potpourri, infused oils and natural crafts. Its strong essential oils make it a favourite for wellness and home remedies, delivering a clean, calming scent that holds exceptionally well once dried.

Highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, Lavender 'Hidcote' also plays a valuable role in supporting pollination throughout the herb garden. It thrives in full sun and prefers poor to moderately fertile, well-drained alkaline soil, developing into a resilient, long-lasting plant with minimal maintenance. Whether grown in herb beds, containers or mixed borders, this much-loved lavender offers dependable fragrance, structure and year-round evergreen appeal.
