Lavender Hidcote

Lavender Hidcote Purple

     Lavender Hidcote Purple is a wonderful angustifolia Lavender plant also called 'Hidcote Variety' or 'Hidcote Blue' that bears masses of flowering spikes with rich purple Lavender flowers. This is a mid-sized, semi-dwarf variety when considering mature plant size.

Hidcote Lavender Plants

     The bright color of the flowers are retained when dried and look wonderful in  craft arrangements or dried Lavender wreaths. Lavender Hidcote is one of my favorite plants due to intense purple color.

                         

     This variety gets its name from Hidcote Manor in England as it was cultivated there by Major Lawrence Johnston. This Lavender variety is thought to be a cultivar of Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender). The flower color of Lavender Hidcote plants is simply amazing as it is very purple! Remember the name Lavandula angustifolia hidcote!

Lavender Hidcote Giant

     Hidcote Giant is an intermediate Lavandin and very vigorous grower (36 - 40 inches) with a lovely strong fragrance. This has large deep Lavender-purple flowers on very long 24 inch stems.

Lavender Hidcote Pink

     Almost identical and sometimes confused with Nana Rosea but the foliage is much grayer and the leaves are much narrower in form. This is a dwarf English cultivar. Pink Lavender contrasts beautifully especially planted next to the dark purple of Hidcote or a white flower variety.
