COMPLETELY SOLD OUT FOR 2010
OUR HIDCOTE LAVENDER ARE ESTABLISHED 2 YEAR OLD PLANTS IN 1.5 LITRE POTS. THEY ARE NOT PLUGS OR FRESHLY ROOTED CUTTINGS.
Hidcote Lavender carries dark blue/purple flowers above silvery evergreen foliage from early summer into August. Its flowers and leaves fill any garden with scent and it is an ideal edging plant which makes a superb low hedge to 2ft - 60cms tall. Lavender plants are particularly effective as hedging around rosebeds or as edging for stone terraces or paths where they break up the lines of the hard landscaping.
The flowers of all lavenders attract pollinating insects and give honey an unmistakeable flavour. Lavender flowers can also be cut and dried when they can be made into lavender bags or just hung in a bunch in airing cupboards and wardrobes where as well as smelling sweet they repel clothes moths.
In common with many other aromatics, lavender plants are not a favourite food of your average rabbit, which makes them attractive to gardeners in that it needs no protection from the little critters...
Hidcote lavender - like all lavenders likes a sunny position and well drained soil. It should be planted at 3 per metre and likes to be clipped hard after flowering and more gently again in late March.
PLEASE NOTE THE MINIMUM ORDER FOR HIDCOTE LAVENDER PLANTS IS 6.
