💜 Blue Hidcote Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote Blue') is a compact, fragrant perennial prized for its deep violet-blue flower spikes, silvery-green foliage, and exceptional aroma. This English lavender variety is perfect for borders, rock gardens, pollinator gardens, containers, and dried flower arrangements. Its long-lasting blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators while adding beauty and fragrance to the landscape. ⚠️ Cold Stratification Recommended: For the best germination rates, cold stratify seeds for 6–8 weeks before sowing. Place seeds in a moist medium (such as damp vermiculite or a paper towel) in the refrigerator, then sow after the stratification period. Germination may still be slow and uneven. I have successfully germinated these seeds by wrapping the seeds in moist paper towel in the refrigerator. The seeds took almost 2-3 months to germinate but germination rate was high.
