Lavender, Blue (Lavandula angustifolia Hidcote)
Hidcote Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Hidcote)
Hidcote
Lavender carries dark blue/purple flowers above silvery
evergreen foliage from early summer into August. Its flowers
and leaves fill any garden with scent and it is an ideal edging
plant which makes a superb low hedge to 2ft (60cms) tall. Lavender
is particularly effective as an edging to rosebeds or as hedging
along the edge of a stone terrace or path where it breaks up the
lines of the hard landscaping.
The flowers of all lavenders attract pollinating insects and
give honey an unmistakeable flavour. Lavender flowers can also
be cut and dried when they can be made into lavender bags or just
hung in a bunch in airing cupboards and wardrobes where as well
as smelling sweet they repel clothes moths.
In common with many plants with aromatic foliage, lavender
is not a favourite food of your average rabbit, which makes it
attractive to gardeners in that it needs no protection from the
little critters...
Hidcote lavender (like all lavenders) likes a sunny position and well drained soil. It should be planted at 3 per metre and likes to be clipped hard after flowering and more gently again in late March.
