There's no mistaking the intense fragrance of this multiple award-winning herbal flower. A compact variety, English Lavender Hidcote is right at home at the front of a mixed border or as a standalone planting. Clusters of tiny, blue-purple florets top 16-18" stems, and scent the entire area over a long summer flowering period with their signature perfume. Used in potpourris when dried, or bouquets when picked fresh—this is a versatile perennial perfect for full-sun sites. Easy to grow and maintenance free, once established.

Came back in Zone 4b

Submitted 2 years ago

By Karen W

From Minnesota

I bought this last year because I've always wanted lavender. I live in Minnesota Zone 4b, and this is Zone 5 and above, so I figured it would be an annual. Surprise! It came back and is doing well. Smells great.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Hello, I'm new to this so please pardon my ignorance. Are you selling plants or seeds?
Asked by Southern Oregon Paradise Farms
Verified Reply - AngelaThe English Lavender Hidcote is being offered as dormant bareroot plants this spring. There is a 'Ship As' field below the description. If it says 'No 1' that means it's a top size bareroot plant. This is roughly the equivalent of a one gallon potted plant. I hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you

Asked by Amanda

Q
In the picture that says arrives as shown, you want that whole picture shown planted under ground, the top just under the surface. Correct?
Asked by james
Verified Reply - AngelaLooking at the photo, the roots are below and the crown begins where it looks cinched. You want to plant so the crown is just below the soil level. Dig the hole deep enough to accommodate the roots without bending them. Position in the hole so the crown is just barely below the soil level and back fill with soil. Any green leaves and brown stems should remain above ground. Remember, Lavender needs well draining soil and does not appreciate being over watered. They also love sun and more sun.Was this answer helpful to you
