Lavender Hidcote Blue is a traditional old-favourite is one of the top-performing Lavenders with fantastic scent and striking blue flowers. It's proved itself in the garden so well the RHS have given this variety their Award of Garden Merit. Hidcote Blue is drought tolerant and, as all Lavenders, fully frost hardy, so once planted in the garden it can be left pretty much to its own devices, requiring very little care. Keep it looking neat and trim by giving it a prune in the autumn and it will grow its wonderful flower back the following summer. Flowers all summer long and will provide a haven for bees and butterflies.

Flowers sit on top of long, graceful stems, giving a soft, translucent look. Ideal for creating a cottage garden effect or for using as low-growing soft hedging

Why Buy Lavenders?
There's nothing like Lavender for adding traditional cottage-charm to a garden. Lavenders are not only beautifully scented and elegant, but they're adored by bees and butterflies too - you'll find them on the RHS Perfect for Pollinators list.

What's more, they're drought tolerant and very easy to look after too. Lavender plants are virtually maintenance free, only requiring a quick prune in the autumn after the flowers have faded. It's easy to do, just snip off the new growth and flower stems with secateurs, leaving the evergreen foliage in tact.

Young plants need water to grow good roots, but once they're established they barely need any water - perfect if you live in a hose-pipe ban area.
