Lavender

Thanks ladies,
Will wait til after it flowers and take cuttings then. I love lavender and it obviously likes the dry,sandy soil in the front garden (not much else does it seems!) so hopefully with your advice will get loads of new plants from it.
Thanks again

 

Looking for a small compact lavender with a nice fragrance for front of a border. Can anyone suggest which one I should be looking for.

 

Hidcote is a neat compact plant often used for hedging. It's a well established variety, and is easy to grow.

 

Thanks Liz. My friend also suggested "Little Lady" so I will get one of each to compare (Hidcote and a Little Lady)

 

I have to say that Little Lady is one of my favorites - they have a few beds of it in the Hampton Court Gardens in Herefordshire - they are tight, compact little bushes - and the scent is incredible. I have one in a pot - and it does well with our Dumfriesshire weather! My Hidcote got a bit woody and leggy (even with annual 'pruning'), though my Little Lady has stayed compact.

Let us know what you decide!
