Lavender Hedging Plants & Shrubs

Lavender is an extremely popular hedging shrub, whose distinctive look can be easily identified, bringing classical English essence to a garden.

Famous for the wonderful spires of blue, purple and white flowers and the delightful fragrance that they produce, Lavender is grown around the world for its beauty, but also for the harvesting of its essential oils.

Evergreen
Being evergreen, Lavender provides you with its wonderful foliage and pleasant aroma through every season. Lavender is a popular and traditional plant in the UK and often used for compact hedges in contemporary design or conventional cottage displays.

Native
A traditional favourite for the classic English cottage garden, Lavender ‘Munstead’ makes for a compact, hardy and easy to grow shrubby hedge. The other main native variety of Lavender from the UK is ‘Hidcote‘.

Fragrant & Attractive
The leaves are very heavily scented − really noticeable when you are taking them out of their pots and handling them . The sweet scent that Lavender produces, which can be described as pine-like and floral, comes from its attractive grey-green foliage.

Wildlife Friendly
In summer, Lavender displays short cylindrical flower heads that radiate fantastic colours. You’ll enjoy these profuse flowers every bit as much as the butterflies and bees who adore the spectacular colours and when left unpruned, the flowers develop seeds that make a tasty treat for many garden birds.

Planting & Maintaining
These tough, drought tolerant plants are wonderful additions to every garden. The key with all Lavenders is to plant them in dry soil or plant them in such a way that rainwater will run away from the roots (on little soil mounds).
