Lavender Hidcote hedge plants

Lavender Hidcote hedge (Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote') description

A Lavender Hidcote hedge has a more compact form than the English Lavender variety and showcases a darker purple flower. The grey-green foliage provides attractive, year-round cover and is striking when punctuated with the spikes of vibrant flower heads. A wonderfully fragrant plant, Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' provides sensory interest and is ideal for planting near benches or along pathways.

Most popular uses for Lavender hedging

A low growing plant, Hidcote Lavender is perfect for bordering paths or for planting along a wall. The showy, evergreen foliage is great for providing a cottage garden or Mediterranean feel and the flowers, popular with bees and butterflies provide additional wildlife interest. Lavender hedging can be used in both formal settings or to create a more relaxed effect.

Care advice for Lavender Hidcote hedging

Hidcote Lavender is low maintenance and requires little attention. However, the key thing to remember is not to overwater your Lavender Hidcote Hedge, as they are best-suited to dry soil. At best4hedging, we recommended pruning Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' in late August, once the flowers have started to fade. It is also advised to prune approximately one-third of the Lavender Hidcote plants, not just the buds, as this will encourage maximum flowering and new foliage will develop before the winter frosts, giving an attractive fluffy appearance to your Lavender Hidcote hedge. Please view our Hedging Care Advice page for more information.
