Lavender Hidcote Blue is a popular and aromatic lavender cultivar admired for its stunning appearance and delightful fragrance. Renowned for its ornamental qualities, this English lavender variety is a favorite among gardeners and landscaping enthusiasts.
This compact, bushy shrub spreads in a dense, rounded form. This lavender boasts narrow, silver-green foliage that forms a neat backdrop to its prolific flowering season. During the summer, it produces slender spikes adorned with vibrant, deep purple-blue flowers that emit a strong, sweet, and herbaceous fragrance.
Hidcote Blue Lavender is highly esteemed for its ornamental value. Its showy, aromatic blooms and silvery foliage make it an excellent choice for edging pathways, rock gardens, borders, or as a striking addition to herb gardens. Additionally, its flowers are often dried and used in potpourri, sachets, or homemade scented crafts due to their long-lasting fragrance.
