Hidcote Blue Lavender

Hello, my name is Hidcote English Lavender. I am most likely the image that pops into your mind when you hear the word Lavender, distinguished by my fragrant purple needle flowers that stretch above grayish green foliage. My deep violet-blue flowers which stretch high above my bushy silver-grey foliage. My fragrant flowers and array of herbal and medicinal uses make me a popular choice in many herb gardens - my flower's scent is often used to improve sleep and act as a natural remedy for pain. I am also used as a fragrance ingredient in many teas and dishes! I am a very low maintenance shrub. Though I do prefer alkaline soils, I can thrive in any soil type, and I am extremely tolerant to urban pollution and drought. My one request is that I am never left in standing water - I am very dramatic when my feet get wet!
