Notes
'Hidcote Blue' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote Blue') is a shrub for borders, hedges, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees. The evergreen foliage stays tidy, and the plant tolerates drought once settled.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Garlic chives, Japanese forest grass, and Queen of Night tulip.
