‘Hidcote’ is a bushy dwarf evergreen shrub with narrow, silvery-grey leaves and small deep violet-purple flowers in dense, aromatic spikes 3-4cm in length.

A wonderful low growing plant with dark violet flowers and strong, grey green foliage. ‘Hidcote’ was introduced by Major Lawrence Johnston and named after Hidcote Manor in Glouscestershire.

It first received a Royal Horticultural Society award of garden merit in 1932 and was re-confirmed in trials in 2002 when it held as leader of the pack against all of the newly introduced lavenders.
