Hidcote English Lavender
Hidcote lavender grows as a compact, drought-tolerant, bushy shrub. Being one of the cold-hardiest English lavenders available, it is able to survive Colorado Springs winters. This plant grows best in a very sunny, hot location.
In July, spikes of fragrant, deep purple flowers grace slender flower stalks and attract bees. When crushed, the grey-green, short, narrow leaves emit a lovely scent as well. Its flowers are arranged more tightly on the stem than 'Munstead.'
