Hidcote is one of those lavenders everyone seems to recognize. It’s famous for its deep, dark purple flowers—some of the darkest you’ll find among English lavenders. When it blooms in early summer, the color alone is enough to stop people in their tracks.
The plant itself grows into a tidy, rounded mound of gray-green foliage. Nothing floppy, nothing wild—just clean, compact growth that fits easily into borders, paths, and formal garden layouts. The flower stems are strong and carry dense spikes that dry beautifully, holding both their color and fragrance long after harvest.
It’s easy to grow, dependable year after year, and just as useful in the garden as it is in dried arrangements.

What to Expect With Your Plants
What size plants will I receive?
Most plants ship in 2 3/8” x 3 3/4” band pots—ideal for healthy root growth.
Top growth varies by variety and season, but every plant arrives well-rooted, actively growing, and ready to plant.
Grown naturally without artificial heat or lights, our plants are hardy, adaptable, and ready to thrive in real garden conditions.
When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
Orders ship Monday–Wednesday via UPS or USPS (2–3 day service), so your plants arrive before the weekend and spend less time in transit. Shipping begins in spring—usually mid-April—when weather and plant health align, so your plants arrive strong, well-rooted, and ready to thrive.
