Product Information

Full details

The YouGarden Lavender 'Hidcote' 24-pack is perfect for gardeners looking to establish a fragrant, pollinator-friendly hedge or decorative border with a classic English cottage aesthetic. This hardy variety offers striking purple blooms and silvery foliage that thrives in sunny spots, though gardeners should note that the plug plants require a period of potting on and growth before they can be permanently planted in the ground.

FAQs

How far apart should I plant these?

For an effective hedge, space each plant 30cm apart.

When is the best time to prune?

Prune twice annually: once in mid-to-late summer to remove spent flower heads, and again in early spring.

Can these be grown in pots?

Yes, 'Hidcote' is suitable for pots, provided the container has good drainage and the plants are given enough room to grow.

Do I need to protect them from winter?

Hidcote is a hardy variety, but ensure they are in well-drained soil so the roots do not freeze in wet, cold conditions.

How tall do these plants grow?

They will reach a mature height of approximately 60cm.

Can I use these for dried flowers?

Absolutely; the stems can be cut and dried for indoor fragrance displays.

Troubleshooting

Plants are wilting after transplanting

Ensure the soil is well-drained and the plants are not sitting in standing water, as lavender roots are prone to rot.

Leggy or woody growth

This is often a sign of insufficient sunlight or lack of regular pruning; move to a sunnier spot and adhere to the biannual pruning schedule.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High fragrance intensity
  • Excellent for encouraging garden biodiversity
  • Hardy variety suitable for hedging
  • Supplied in a generous 24-pack quantity

Cons

  • Requires potting on before final planting
  • Needs specific biannual pruning for maintenance
  • Not suitable for waterlogged soil

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon arrival, the 24 plug plants should be potted into individual containers to allow them to develop a stronger root system before being transitioned to the garden. Use a free-draining compost mix for the best results. Once the plants are large enough, transplant them 30cm apart in a sunny location. Care is straightforward: prune lightly in mid-to-late summer after the blooms fade to remove spent heads, and perform a harder prune in early spring, removing approximately 2.5cm of growth to maintain shape and encourage dense foliage.
