Hidcote English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’)

Hidcote English Lavender is a compact, highly aromatic perennial valued for its deep purple flower spikes and dense, tidy growth habit. This cultivar of Lavandula angustifolia is widely recognized for its strong fragrance and reliable performance in well-drained garden conditions.

This woody perennial forms a low, mounded shrub of narrow, grey-green foliage. In early to mid-summer, it produces dense spikes of dark violet-purple flowers that are highly fragrant and attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The blooms can be harvested for drying, culinary use, or crafting.

Hidcote Lavender is well-suited for borders, edging, rock gardens, and container planting. Its compact size and strong scent make it a popular choice for formal plantings and low-maintenance, drought-tolerant landscapes.
