Lavender Lavender has been selected as the Herb of the Year in 1999 by the International Herb Association.
Lavenders are aromatic Mediterranean natives.
Hidcote' plants grown from seed will not look the same as those produced from cuttings. The flowers will be different shades of purple rather than being deep purple and there will be slight differences in growth habit. Though seed-grown English lavenders can be used in the landscape, the plants will look uniform in height and flower color. Lady' is hardy to USDA Zone 5. Because of plant variability from seed, propagate these cultivars vegetatively to ensure they are true to type.
