Lavender Lavandula Angustifolia 'Hidcote'
Lavender Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote'
 
Silvery grey compact foliage with extremely fragrant, dark violet-purple flower spikes.

Lavender is actually a low-growing shrub, native to the Mediterranean region. The fragrant flowers and foliage make it a favourite for herb gardens and in the perennial border. Will also grow fine in tubs or containers, but in colder regions the plants may then need shelter for the winter. This reliable, compact selection has grey-green foliage and dark violet-purple flowers. Prune lightly in early spring, no harder than 4 inches. Lavender MUST have good drainage in order to avoid root rot problems. Consider growing in a raised bed or rock garden.
