Lavender Plants
There’s nothing like the heady warm fragrance of Lavender - favourite of bees and butterflies, easy to grow and an essential for any cottage or wildlife garden. Our grower in Hereford has selected the best tried and trusted English varieties for our collection, which are hardier and more productive than other lavenders. These classic plants are grown the traditional way to make sure they stay a beloved feature of your garden for many years to come.
Which lavender?
Lavender’s not always blue - alongside the classic well, lavender colour, there are white, pink and purple varieties too. English lavenders are the hardiest and longest lived, with an incomparable perfume and maximum bee appeal. The most compact varieties for pots or path edging are Blue Spear and English Lavender, while award winning Hidcote Improved has an unbeatable perfume.
Planting schemes and partners
Versatile lavender makes the perfect addition to a cottage garden, formal garden or mediterranean courtyard, as an alternative to a low growing hedge or along the edge of a path. It also makes a brilliant companion plant for your vegetable plot, as the strong scent keeps pests away. However you grow it, make sure it’s near a seating area or walkway so you can get the full effect of the unique fragrance as you pass by or sit and relax.

Growing tips
Grow your lavender plants in full sun and free draining soil - they’re not fussy plants but they hate to be waterlogged. You’ll need to water them well for the first year or so, after which they’re pretty drought tolerant. Leave your lavender to grow wild and free or keep it in good shape by pruning the stems down to 2cm from the prevous year’s growth after flowering.
