'Hidcote Giant' Lavender (Lavendula x intermedia Hidcote Giant) Herb in 1 Litre Pot

Hidcote Giant is a bold, architectural LAVANDULA cultivar celebrated for its tall flower spikes, intense fragrance, and exceptional garden performance. This vigorous hybrid LAVANDULA forms a strong, upright habit with long, elegant stems that sway beautifully in summer breezes. Its violet-blue flower spikes are highly aromatic and rich in nectar.

Makes for a great cut flower!

The flowers of Hidcote Giant Lavender are violet-blue blooms and are produced on spikes at the top of slender, leafless stems 10–30 cm long. Hidcote Giant Lavender is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and as such prefers a light free-draining soil and an open sunny position, Lavender enjoys being cut back hard ( to 2 cm above the hardwood) after flowering in mid Sept and to maintain a neat shape they can be trimmed again in Spring after the first flush. Ideally plants should be replaced every 3-4 years as they will eventually become woody at the base, however,  with the correct regular pruning they can last much longer.
