Lavender Plants

A garden classic for good reason. Lavender is hardy and easy to care for and brings a beautiful scent and colour to borders, pots, and patios. It’s also one of the best plants you can grow for bees and pollinators.

Wherever you choose to plant it – dotted through pots, lining a path, or filling a sunny border – all our UK-grown lavender plants are ready to settle in and flourish.

In this collection, you'll find UK favourites like Lavandula Hidcote and Lavandula Angustifolia (commonly known as English Lavender), alongside some lavender lollipop trees and soft pink and purple lavender varieties.

Seasonal Interest: How Lavender Changes Through the Year

Lavender plants shift gently with the seasons, offering colour and fragrance at the moments gardens appreciate most.

  • Spring brings fresh shoots and the first hints of new stems
  • Summer produces tall wands of colour and the strongest fragrance
  • Autumn is the moment to tidy stems and shape the plant
  • Winter allows the shrub to rest while holding its evergreen form

Choosing the right lavender planting style depends on the space you have and the effect you want. Compact varieties suit small pots, while taller lavenders and lavender shrubs work well in open borders.

  • Place in full sun for the strongest flowers and scent
  • Choose free-draining soil and keep pots well-drained
  • Water lightly until established, then sparingly
  • Trim after flowering to help keep the plant neat
  • Plant lavender UK-wide as long as the soil drains well
  • Use 9cm pots for young starter plants and larger pots for an immediate impact
