Hidcote Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote') is a true English lavender renowned for its intensely fragrant, deep purple-blue flowers and compact, silvery foliage. This highly aromatic variety produces darker blooms than most other lavenders—so richly colored they appear navy blue at times—creating stunning contrast against the compact, silver-gray leaves. Prized for its long-lasting sweet scent, Hidcote is perfect for borders, hedges, dried arrangements, sachets, and culinary garnishes.

Landscape & Culinary Uses
Hidcote Lavender excels as a low hedge, border plant, or mass planting where its compact habit and dark blooms create dramatic impact. Plant along pathways to enjoy the fragrance, or use in containers for patios and entryways. Harvest flower spikes for dried arrangements, sachets, and potpourri—the long-lasting scent holds beautifully. The edible flowers make elegant garnishes for desserts, cocktails, and baked goods. In the garden, plant in full sun with excellent drainage for best performance and maximum fragrance.
