Hidcote Pink is an English lavender plant known for its soft blush-pink flower spikes and classic, sweet fragrance. A gentle alternative to traditional purple varieties, this hardy perennial brings subtle color and elegance to sunny gardens, borders, and pollinator plantings. Grown with care at our family-run nursery, Hidcote Pink is selected for strong performance and dependable flowering.

Plants form tidy, compact mounds with silvery-green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season. From early to mid-summer, slender flower spikes rise above the foliage, creating a light, airy effect that blends beautifully with both pastel and bold garden palettes.

Hidcote Pink lavender is excellent for cutting and drying, holding its fragrance well in fresh bouquets and dried arrangements. While it may be used in small amounts for culinary purposes, it is most often grown for ornamental use and floral design.
