Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote'

• Curated selection: Every outdoor plant is selected for health, proper rooting and overall quality, so you receive a plant suited to its listed variety, growth type and intended outdoor use.

• Representative photos: Product images show a typical plant of this variety, often during an attractive or active growth stage. Natural differences in size, branching, foliage density, leaf colour, flower timing and seasonal shape are normal.

• Seasonal appearance: Outdoor plants change noticeably through the year. Depending on the season, your plant may arrive actively growing, newly flushing, flowering, fruiting, recently pruned, dormant, partly bare or leafless. Deciduous shrubs, trees and herbaceous perennials can look sparse outside their main growing period, especially in autumn, winter and early spring. This is normal seasonal behaviour and does not mean the plant is unhealthy.

• Flowers, fruit and colour: Flowers, buds, fruit, berries, autumn colour and fresh new growth are seasonal and are not guaranteed on arrival unless clearly stated for that specific item.

• Size details: Listed sizes refer to pot diameter in cm and approximate overall height in cm, measured from the base of the pot to the tallest visible shoot, stem or branch where applicable. Outdoor plant height can vary naturally with season, pruning, dormancy, new growth, weather conditions and each plant’s growth habit. Dormant, recently pruned or early-season plants may temporarily be shorter, sparser or less leafy than plants shown in peak-season photos.
  
  

After delivery:

Your outdoor plant has just been packed, transported and unpacked, so give it a calm start before planting or placing it permanently. Remove all packaging carefully, check the pot, stems, visible roots and substrate moisture, and settle any loose growing medium back around the root ball. Water if the root ball feels dry, but do not leave the pot standing in water. For the first few days, keep the plant in a sheltered spot suited to its light needs, away from strong midday sun, heavy wind, frost and heat stress.

First days outside:

Do not move the plant straight into full exposure, especially if it is young, newly flushed, evergreen, recently pruned or greenhouse-grown. Gradually introduce more sun, wind and temperature variation over several days. If cold nights, storms, intense sun or hot dry weather are expected, keep the plant protected until conditions are more stable. Do not fertilize immediately after delivery; let the plant settle first and resume feeding only when it is actively growing and conditions are suitable.

Seasonal settling:

Outdoor plants may arrive in different seasonal stages. Depending on the time of year, your plant may be leafy, flowering, newly sprouting, recently pruned, dormant, partly bare or leafless. Adjust care to what the plant is doing: actively growing plants need closer moisture checks, while dormant plants usually need protection from extremes and only light moisture management until growth resumes.

Planting timing:

Plant outdoors when the soil is workable and weather conditions suit the plant type. Avoid planting during frost, heatwaves, waterlogged soil or very dry windy periods. It is better to keep the plant protected in its pot for a short time than to plant into stressful conditions. After planting, water thoroughly so the root ball and surrounding soil connect properly, then monitor moisture while the plant establishes.
