- Heat-tolerant English lavender hybrid that thrives in hot, sunny, low-water gardens.

Hidcote Giant English Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia ‘Hidcote Giant’) is a highly aromatic, evergreen lavender that brings classic Mediterranean charm to sunny borders with long stems of fragrant, violet-blue flower spikes and a tidy, gray-green mound. This heat-tolerant hybrid is ideal for dry, sunny gardens, low hedges, and large drifts where its scent and color can shine all summer. Plant it in lean, fast-draining soil, keep crowns slightly above grade, and let the soil go almost dry between waterings for a resilient, pollinator-friendly feature that looks polished year-round.
Plant Description
A highly aromatic, bushy lavender hybrid with narrow gray-green foliage and long stems of violet-blue flower spikes. Evergreen and well suited to dry, sunny landscapes.
Flowers & Fragrance
Long, fragrant violet-blue flower spikes bloom in summer and are excellent for cutting, drying, sachets, and fresh arrangements.
Habit & Mature Size
Forms a rounded mound that typically reaches 18–36 in. tall and 36–48 in. wide, creating a substantial, landscape-ready plant with strong presence.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun is essential for dense growth and peak flowering. Place in the brightest, warmest spot for best performance and strongest fragrance.
Watering
Let soil go almost dry between waterings. Water regularly the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce frequency; tolerates periodic drought once established.
Soil & Drainage
Thrives in lean, loose, fast-draining, slightly alkaline soil. Avoid heavy, soggy soils and improve drainage in clay sites with grit or raised planting.
Planting Tips
Plant with crowns slightly above soil level to prevent rot and encourage longevity. Mulch lightly with gravel or a thin layer of mineral mulch for a clean, dry crown.
Hardiness
Best in USDA Zones 5–8. Evergreen foliage provides year-round structure in mild winters; protect from prolonged wet winter conditions.
Wildlife & Garden Benefits
Attracts butterflies and pollinators. Naturally aromatic foliage tends to deter browsing from deer and rabbits, and the plant handles dry conditions well.
Pruning & Maintenance
Remove spent flowers to encourage extended bloom and keep the plant tidy. Lightly shape after flowering to maintain a dense, rounded mound.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for borders, containers, low hedges, and mass plantings. Beautiful along pathways, in Mediterranean-style gardens, and as a fragrant backdrop for perennials.
