ENGLISH LAVENDER - Hidcote is the most popular lavender in the UK. Quintessentially British, it is ideal as a low hedging and edging plant for rose borders and kitchen gardens. The flowers are an imperial, deep purple with a good balance between the height of its foliage and flower spikes. PLANTING POSITION - All lavender must have good drainage and close to full sun. They prefer poor soil and will thrive in exposed coastal sites. When established, they are pretty much totally drought-tolerant, but in the first and second year you should water them as you would any other new shrub to make sure they establish well. HEIGHT AND SPREAD - This plant will grow to a height of about 0.1-0.5 metres with a spread of 0.5-1 metres. WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE - This plant will arrive in a 13cm growing pot.
