Care Instructions
Plant Lavender Hidcote Blue in a sunny position with free-draining soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged conditions as lavender prefers drier growing conditions.
Water regularly while establishing, then reduce watering once mature. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and prune gently in spring to encourage bushy growth.
Avoid cutting into old woody stems as lavender may not regenerate from older growth.
