{"product_id":"lavandula-angustifolia-hidcote","title":"Lavander | Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' 2 Litre","description":"\u003cp\u003eLavender, or Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote', is a fragrant and popular garden plant in Ireland. Its purple-blue flowers and silvery-green foliage make it a visually stunning addition to any garden. Lavender is well-suited to Irish gardens because it prefers full sun and well-drained soil, which can be a challenge in Ireland's wet climate. This variety of lavender is particularly prized for its compact growth habit, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want to create a low hedge or border. Its fragrant blooms also make it a favourite for cutting and drying for use in potpourri or sachets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavender is a hardy plant that can thrive in Irish gardens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts fragrant blooms attract bees and butterflies, making it a pollinator-friendly option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts compact growth habit makes it ideal for use in borders or as a low hedge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavender requires well-draining soil and full sun to thrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo encourage bushier growth and more blooms, prune lavender in the spring before new growth appears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavender is drought-tolerant, so be careful not to overwater it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms appear in the summer and can be cut and dried for use in potpourri or sachets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn colder climates, it is important to protect lavender from harsh winter weather by covering it with a protective layer of mulch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen fully grown, Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' can reach a height of 45-60cm and a spread of 60-75cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"YOUNG NURSERIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46703038792007,"sku":"1117065","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/files\/makkelijke-planten__lavandula-angustifolia-hidcote_1197x1197_157e4371-747b-4bcd-a721-34aa50017267.webp?v=1683665998","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/en-gb\/products\/lavandula-angustifolia-hidcote","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
