Add serenity and peace to your garden with the Lavender Hidcote Blue! Hidcote Blue is consistently a top performer among Lavender varieties with dense spikes of highly fragrant, purple blooms. Fragrant, silvery green foliage offer a nice contrast to the bright flowers. This perennial is great planted in masses as a hedge, as a border plant or along walkways. Lavender Hidcote Blue is also rated one of the best culinary varieties, adding an earthy, aromatic flavor to cakes, teas and other sweet treats. Begin seeds indoors 6-8 weeks prior to the last expected frost date in Spring. Once temperatures are consistently over 50 during the day and at night, transplant outdoors in a full sun location with well-drained soil. Lavender blooms during the Summer months and into Fall and is very drought and heat tolerant. Not only will you enjoy the pleasing, calming aroma of the Lavender Hidcote, but the scented leaves and blooms are highly attractive to a number of essential pollinators.
