Lavender - Hidcote
The Lavender 'Hidcote', Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote', is a dwarf variety that is a compact grower and reaches 18-24 inches tall.  It produces fragrant spikes of dark purple flowers in summer.  These flowers produce the purest lavender scent! Being drought tolerant, it is ideal as a short perennial shrub border or as an herb in a kitchen garden.  Lavender was selected in 1999 as the International Herb Association Plant of the Year! This plant is great for hedges and edging because 'Hidcote' has a more erect and compact habit.  It boasts 2½-inch, linear, downy leaves on strong stems.   The leaves open white, then turn a pale gray-blue-green color.  This Lavender grows in a well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil in an open, sunny spot.  For better drainage, add sand in the hole when first planting this lavender. Trim back in spring to encourage bushier growth; also deadhead after flowering. The sweetest scent of all lavender, it is also the most cold hardy, and it should be pruned back the first year. If you want dried flowers,  pick when showing color but before fully open; tie in bunches and hang in a cool, airy place. One of the most famous of all herbs, 'Hidcote' is used most often in sachets in the home  and for perfumes! * Dwarf * Cold hardy * Pale gray, blue-green foliage

These show-stopping 4 to 6 inch blossoms will make your neighbors “oooh and ahh” all summer long, even into the early fall! With its stunning blue-purple hue, Franziska Maria™ is sure to become one of your garden favorites. The beautifully formed double flowers are produced on both old and new growth, so there is a repeat flowering pattern. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. This is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! Franziska Maria™ can be used for both trellising and pots, so it needs a supporting structure, and it is a good plant for growing against fences and walls, and is ideal for small gardens! * Reliable * Double blooms * Climber
