Description
The collection consists of:
- x 1 Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote' : an award-winning variety in England for its ornamental qualities and performance in the garden. Abundant flowering in July-August, with dark purple spikes.
- x 1 Lavandula angustifolia 'Alba': truly bright white flowering from June to August.
- x 1 Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea': light lilac pink flowering from June to August.
Lavandula angustifolia, sometimes called English lavender, belongs to the family of Lamiaceae. It is a subshrub native to Mediterranean regions that grows in garrigues, in full sun, on rocky, limestone, very dry soils in summer. It forms a dense clump of 60cm (24in) in all directions at flowering time. Its foliage is composed of narrow aromatic leaves of a beautiful gray-silver color in summer, greener in winter.
These lavenders from this collection will therefore be planted in full sun in a very well-drained soil, rather poor, based on gravel or coarse sand. Under these conditions, their vegetation will emit an intense fragrance in summer and they will withstand frost. You can plant them in a raised bed, as a border, in a rockery, container, and even as a low flowering hedge. Allow a spacing of 40cm (16in) between each plant.
With their graphic appearance, the brightness of their foliage, and their beautiful summer flowering, an infinite number of possibilities are available to the gardener. You can associate the lavenders from this collection with ornamental grasses for dry soil which, with their tousled habit, will contrast with the silvery roundness of the lavender. For example, plant them between your bush roses. In a Mediterranean-inspired scene, combine them with small shrubs such as rockroses and shrubby salvias, white, pink, blue, or purple. You can also create beautiful containers to place on the terrace or balcony. It is also possible to combine several varieties of lavenders together, which will create a harmonious and elegant tableau, both in terms of the variety of flower and foliage colours, and the size and volume of the plants.

Planting and care
Lavandula angustifolia should be planted in a warm and sunny location, in a rocky or sandy soil, preferably limestone, very well drained, even dry. Indeed, it does not tolerate clay soils and excess water, both in summer and winter. If this is the case, it will be necessary to lighten the soil by adding sand and gravel. The pruning of Lavandula angustifolia should be done every year, just after flowering, by removing the faded inflorescences. A second pruning will be done in early spring, by cutting back the plant by a third (without going to the old wood), to maintain a beautiful compact, rounded shape and its floriferous qualities.
Since lavender requires very little water, watering will only be necessary in the first year of planting. When pruning after flowering, do not throw away the withered inflorescences, but collect them to make sachets that will delicately perfume the cupboards, and also make excellent moth repellents. For making dried bouquets, it is necessary to harvest the lavender flowers, just fully bloomed, and let them dry in a dry and ventilated place, upside down.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
