Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote Pink' Lavender

Soft pink blooms, classic fragrance, and a refined, compact form.

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote Pink’ is a graceful English lavender prized for its delicate pale pink flowers and sweet, classic fragrance. This cultivar offers a compact, well-proportioned growth habit, making it especially suited to smaller gardens, borders, and herb plantings.

The light pink corollas rise from greenish-white, very woolly calyces, creating a soft, romantic look that stands out beautifully among traditional purple lavenders. While similar in color to ‘Rosea’, ‘Hidcote Pink’ maintains a tidier, more compact form, and though slightly less dense than ‘Chelsea Pink’, it remains balanced and elegant in the landscape.

Blooming in early summer, this variety provides dependable harvests on mid-length stems, suitable for fresh bouquets, drying, culinary use, and craft projects. Its gentle color, manageable size, and reliable performance make it a lovely choice for gardeners seeking something a little different—subtle, fragrant, and quietly charming.
