Lavender Hidcote

• An easy to grow, evergreen shrub that produces masses of beautifully scented flowers above silvery-grey foliage.
• Drought-tolerant, lavender thrives in a sunny border, container, herb or gravel gardens.
• Best planted between April and when the soil is warming up, ensure that the plants gets really good drainage and there's no need to improve the soil as lavender thrives in any poor or moderately fertile conditions.
• Water regularly.
• Lavenders should be pruned every year to keep them compact.
  On established plants use secateurs to remove flower stalks and about 2.5cm of the current year’s growth - usually in late summer, after flowering - making sure that some green growth remains.
• You can prune lightly in April if required.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
