Below are some of the top lavender varieties suitable for hedging, each with its unique features and benefits. 

Lavender Hedging Varieties Available at Grasslands

Lavender St. Papilon

Lavender 'St. Papillon' is known for its compact growth and abundant, rich purple flowers. It features aromatic, silvery-green foliage that provides a lovely contrast to the bright blooms. This variety is ideal for creating low hedges and decorative borders. It typically grows to about 30-40 cm in height and width and has a moderate growth rate of around 20-30 cm per year.

Hibiscus Lavender

Hibiscus Lavender is known for its vibrant, lavender-pink flowers and lush green foliage. Unlike traditional lavender, it features a more rounded growth habit and is ideal for creating showy, flowering hedges. It typically reaches a height of 60-90 cm and a width of 60-90 cm, with a moderate growth rate of 30-40 cm per year. It combines the beauty of lavender with a slightly larger, bushier form.

Where to Site Your Lavender Hedging

In the UK, lavender thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to ensure it develops its best color and fragrance. It adapts well to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils, but struggles in heavy, waterlogged conditions. For optimal growth, choose a location with good air circulation and protection from harsh winds. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. 

Growth 

Lavender hedging generally grows at a moderate rate, averaging around 20 to 40 centimeters per year depending on the variety. This growth rate makes lavender ideal for creating structured hedges that add both visual and aromatic appeal to your garden. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and promotes a fuller, bushier appearance.

Caring Tips for Lavender Hedging
Watering

Water lavender regularly during dry periods, particularly in its first few years, to establish a strong root system. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging.

Pruning

Prune lavender after flowering in late summer to remove spent blooms and encourage bushier growth. Regular trimming helps maintain the hedge's shape and prevents it from becoming too woody.

Feeding

Feed lavender with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth. Lavender generally requires minimal feeding, as excessive nutrients can reduce its fragrance and flowering.

Signs of Pests and Disease: How to Care for Your Poorly Lavender
Lavender Root Rot

Yellowing leaves and stunted growth, often due to overly moist soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent this issue.

Lavender Leaf Spot

Dark, sunken spots on leaves, typically caused by fungal infections. Improve air circulation and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk.

Aphids

Small, green or black insects on flower spikes and leaves, causing distortion and sticky residue. Regular inspection and appropriate treatments can manage infestations.
