Choose from blue, pink and white flowered lavender in a range of sizes - all of which should be planted (if you want a hedge) at 3 per metre. Munstead Lavender is named after Gertrude Jekyll’s garden at Munstead Wood in Surrey. It has a beautiful slender bluish-purple flower. A slightly more compact form than Hidcote, it is thought to be better in windy and coastal areas. Hidcote Lavender is from Lawrence Johnson’s garden at Hidcote Manor in Gloucestershire. It is the deepest purple variety and produces lovely plump flowers over a dense mound of foliage growing to around 60cm high. Alba and Rosea are the pink and white forms of Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender) and are as well suited to our climate as their better know blue cousins.

Queen Victoria was a lover of lavender as a scent, and it became very fashionable with the ladies of the day which led to English lavender becoming a profitable industry with the main growing areas being just south of London, around Merton. Sadly the rise in land prices after the First World War pushed the growers out of business so now most commercial lavender growing is in Provence where the vast expanses of purple and blue in summer have become an iconic image and are a huge tourist attraction.
