English Lavender 'Hidcote Blue' | True Lavender 'Hidcote Blue' | Common Lavender | English Lavender (Lavandula) Hidcote Blue
Bring timeless beauty and calming fragrance to your landscape with Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote Blue', one of the most popular and reliable English lavender varieties available. Known for its deep violet-blue flower spikes, compact growth habit, and high essential oil content, this award-winning perennial plant is a top choice for gardeners, landscapers, and herb enthusiasts alike.
Belonging to the Lamiaceae family, this Mediterranean shrub produces a dense display of aromatic, silver-gray foliage topped by slender spikes of vibrant purple blooms, typically appearing in mid-to-late summer. It holds its structure and color well even when dried, making it ideal for decorative and culinary use. Ideal for full sun locations, it performs beautifully in herb gardens, sensory plantings, borders, pathways, and containers while also attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, this semi-woody shrub is a water-wise choice for xeriscaping and sustainable landscapes, offering dependable year-round structure with minimal care. It is deer- & rabbit-resistant, not considered invasive, and provides dependable year-round structure with minimal care.
Growing Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote Blue'
Light: Full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its silvery foliage color and ensure prolific blooming.
Soil: Well-drained soil; thrives in gritty, alkaline, or sandy textures. It is essential to avoid "wet feet," as excellent drainage is the key to its longevity.
Water: Low; once established, it is a remarkably water-wise plant. Allow the soil to dry out significantly between waterings to mimic its native Mediterranean habitat.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; prune lightly in early spring to shape and again after flowering to encourage a potential second flush and prevent the base from becoming too woody.
Wildlife: A premier pollinator plant; specifically attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects; highly deer & rabbit resistant and salt-tolerant.
Hardiness: Cold-hardy perennial in USDA zones 5-9; known for being one of the hardier lavender cultivars, standing up well to both winter cold and summer humidity.
Safety Note: Toxic to dogs, cats, and horses if ingested in large quantities due to the presence of linalool; please plant with caution in areas accessible to pets and livestock.

Blossom Dale did a wonderful job with packaging and Sedum Autumn Joy plants arrived in great condition and are thriving. So far so good.
The milkweed is not doing well...
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
Got this for my wife’s birthday. Plan to pot it soon.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Came in well packed and the plant was alive and healthy!
Even though the newest leaf was broken off it seems to be doing well
My little banana arrived happy and healthy!
The plant arrived well packaged with instructions on how to get started. It had been doing really well and has been growing like a weed!
It is just putting roots down now.
Received in great condition, transplanted just before heavy rain and its thriving
Just a little shock put her in a fabric pot on the back porch full sun should be happy thank you for the lovely plant
Fair price good looking plant can’t wait for it to get bigger!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
So Beautiful. Packaged well . Love my little guy.
It’s so cool I love it!!!
She is doing well even after a rough delivery. She is thriving and putting on new growth. Thank you.
The plant arrived after a few delivery reroutes. It came with three leaves two so far are healthy one was dying and has since died. The two remaining leaves appear to be doing well.
After overcoming the initial travel stress. The plants are doing well.
The follow up plants were very good
Customer service here is second to none! Very very happy and already made another purchase. But anyway, I ordered 1 and they sent me 2 beautiful babies! I'm so excited to watch them grow!
This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
I like it very much and looking forward to eating some cherries
This is my first year of ordering live plants on line. I live in an apt, but have a nice size patio to do container planting. I'm waking up my green thumb and loving it.
Got a great little house plant for $9.99!!!
I am very happy for all the Butterworth I got extra like usual which was nice I put them all in pots for now I'll do my project later after they get growing thank you
Plant came packaged perfectly. Fast shipping. Can’t wait to see it grow!
I received what I believe is a very healthy plant. Unfortunately, the shipping was very hard on the plant. It is quickly bouncing back. Wish I would have known it was a seedling .
The package arrived with no issues. The fig was very stable & looked like it came out of the nursery (it did). The USDA certificates for Gypsy moth /Japanese beetles ensures the plant were checked makes me feel I finally found an institution which cares about the customer & plant. Thanks Jose
Thank you
I’m excited about this tiny banana tree and can’t wait to see it grow more! It came well packed and in perfect shape. Now this beautiful little plant has burned leaves, but that’s my fault because I left it out on my patio in the sun for a long time. Don’t do what I did. But you can see a new leaf already sprouting in the middle and just about to unfurl. I have no doubt this tiny tree will grow well.
Cute and healthy
The flavor is bold and complex—less of the light, floral sweetness you get from typical clover honey and more of a deep, almost molasses-like richness. It has a rich, robust profile, and it definitely delivers on that promise. The texture is thick and smooth, exactly what you’d expect from raw honey. It pours slowly and coats well, making it perfect for drizzling over toast, yogurt, or even pairing with cheeses. It may be a bit intense for those used to lighter honeys, but for anyone who appreciates bold, natural flavors, this is a standout choice.
Everything was done on time.
Very healthy plants and excellent packaging. Thank you
They were very helpful and sent me a beautiful dapple dandy and a nice polinizer. The polinizer was not quite as large as the dappled dandy but still looks like a nice tree. I'm waiting for the polinizer to come out of dormancy and hopefully when it does then I'll be completely satisfied. I would purchase from this company again if the polinizer survives the shipping experience.
The plants arrived in perfect condition and the soil was still wet! They are happy in their pot and im looking forward to beautiful blooms and being visited by hummingbirds this summer and future years!
1 out of the 4 had a damaged stem. I believe it’s salvageable. Packaging was good, just disappointing one was damaged.
