Lavender - Hidcote
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

No one can simply walk by it. Those who pass by will stop and remark on its colors, ruffled petals, and understated grace! Blooming in midsummer, the flowers are edible.

'Fairy Tale Pink', like all daylilies, can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).

In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust. ‘Fairy Tale Pink’ can be used for stand alone plantings, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs. Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover.It also makes a beautiful floral arrangement.
