English Lavender - Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' - British Grown Perennial
Sprouts of Bristol
Size
£5.00
English lavender tends to be hardier than its French or Spanish counterparts, and it's thought to be more attractive to bees - which can only be a good thing!
Works as a potted plant outside or can be planted out. It's relatively easy to care for, just ensure it gets as much sun as possible and has good drainage and you should be set. If you are planting them outside, make sure you pick a spot that doesn't get boggy.
Notes
- Water sparingly
- Likes full sun
- Ensure it has good drainage
- Prune quite hard after flowering but don't cut into old wood as that will effect next years blooms.
- Toxic to pets if ingested

We have launched our first (hopefully monthly) ‘Letter from the Founder’ blog post. I talk about a string of bad luck, from water gushing from various ceilings in my life to a break-in, and also reflect on the incredible work we have done to win two awards earlier this year. I look ahead to what’s coming up in August, projects we are working on with our clients, and some thoughts about the rest of the year. And I give an insight into my brain, why I am who I am and why I’m so thankful for all the opportunities, passion and excitement that running Sprouts has given me as a founder and as a woman.
