Cultivars

HIDCOTE LAVENDER

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote', commonly known as a classic English lavender, is named after Hidcote Manor in England, where it was cultivated in the early 20th century by Major Lawrence Johnston. Hidcote is a compact (generally 15” - 20”) and sweet aromatic lavender with silvery leaves and a deep violet/purple flower. Hidcote is a cultivar with a broad range of uses, including as a culinary lavender.

MUNSTEAD LAVENDER

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Munstead’, also a classic English lavender, is named after Munstead Wood in England, where it was cultivated in the early 20th Century by noted gardener, author and artist, Gertrude Jekyll. Munstead is a somewhat compact lavender with a soft aromatic scent and a soft blue/purple flower. It is one of the earliest blooming cultivars of lavender.

PROVENCE LAVENDER

Lavandula x. intermedia “Provence’, commonly known as a classic French lavender, dates its introduction to Provence, France from the Mediterranean by the early Romans 2000 years ago. Provence is somewhat larger than its English counterparts with an intense and somewhat more camphorous fragrance. Unlike cultivars of Lavandula angustifolia, often referred to as ‘true’ lavenders, Provence Lavender is a hybrid lavender, known as a Lavandin, which is a sterile cultivar that cannot be propagated by seed.

ROSEA LAVENDER

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Rosea’, is another relatively compact, very fragrant lavender, but one with unique pale pink flowers. Rosea was the first lavender cultivar to have pink flowers. Its leaves tend to have more green and less of the gray-silver cast that is characteristic of the lavandula angustifolia.
