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":"Pannebakker \u0026 Zoon BV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46508231852359,"sku":"1117909","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/products\/makkelijke-planten__lavandula-angustifolia-hidcote.jpg?v=1681758572","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/products\/lavander-lavandula-angustifolia-hidcote-p12","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
