Lavender 'Hidcote Blue' is a dwarf hardy perennial, cultivated lavender strain with narrow, grey-green leaves and dense spikes of light-blue flowers that open in early July. Ideal for a low hedge.
Hidcote Blue is one of the main lavender species most highly valued for cutting and drying for its exquisite fragrance, evoking the scents and unforgettable appeal of a Mediterranean summer. Very free-flowering, it produces all summer long, those familiar flower spikes and bushy and fragrant foliage. Perfect for bedding, especially edging, and brilliant in pots on the patio. Both flowers and foliage can be dried for fragrant reminders of summer in the long winter months. Well known as an aid to stress relief and relaxation.
RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.
