Brand: Roots Plants
Is this the best lavender ever? A neat, compact variety with shimmering silvery foliage and indigo-blue flowers which radiate an unbeatable perfume on warm, sunny days.
The key difference between 'Hidcote Improved' and 'Hidcote' is its colour retention; 'Improved' holds onto its flower colour with a vice-like grip, refusing to fade even as autumn rolls around.
This variety builds upon the brilliance of 'Hidcote' in other areas, too, offering an even longer flowering period than its forebear, spanning all the way from May to September (and often even beyond that).
Perfect for borders, pots and path edges; plant near your seating area to fully appreciate the sumptuous scent (which is far headier than with the original 'Hidcote').
Award-winning 'Hidcote' lavender was first bred in the 1930s by plant collector Lawrence Johnson at Hidcote Manor, in Oxfordshire, where it is still carefully tended to this day.
Widely considered the best English lavender, this variety has won the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and holds Plants for Pollinators status, indicating its benefits to local bee populations.

Planted this, nurtured it as per the instructions - looked quite sickly after 2 days, dead as a dodo after 5. Very disappointed

The lavender was a birthday present for a friend. She told me that the plants were well packaged and in very good condition. She is delighted with them. The delivery was also good happening on the stated day. Very pleased with both the quality of the plants, packaging and delivery. Very professional. I highly recommend Root Plants.

Lavender hidcote is one of my favourites and since they were not available for some time and I didn’t want to buy them from elsewhere, I had wait until they became available to purchase and they didn’t disappoint. Nicely packaged and are in a good shape. Just can’t wait to sort out my front garden in order to plant them.

Beautiful, healthy plants packed brilliantly. A little bit pricey but if you can’t get to the garden centre then it’s worth paying the extra price for the convenience.
