Lavender Purity
-
Lavender ‘Purity’ is a beautifully refined variety producing elegant spikes of clear white flowers above aromatic green-grey foliage. Its crisp colouring offers something wonderfully different from traditional purple lavender, bringing a calm, luminous quality to borders, gravel gardens and sun-filled containers.
Compact and naturally neat, ‘Purity’ is particularly lovely planted beside darker lavenders, where its brilliant white flowers create a striking contrast. Flowering during early and midsummer, it attracts bees and other pollinators while filling the garden with the unmistakable fragrance of English lavender.
Plant it somewhere sunny with freely draining soil, and trim after flowering to maintain its attractive rounded shape.

Hidcote Lavender is an old favourite that continues to delight us. It is a really traditional variety of Lavender that is hardy and puts on a great show of flowers in mid to late summer. Absolutely worth growing as bees flock around the flowers as a nectar source, providing a much needed source of pollination.
There is something about the smell of Lavender that we find re-assuring, comforting and soothing. And the flowers look really cool!
RANDOM FACT ALERT. Apparently Queen Victoria used Lavender when making biscuits and we know it remains popular with cake and bake fans today.

Delivery options explained
Pre-order delivery option
From January to March, customers are able to pre-order herbs for delivery later in spring, to ensure that you receive the unusual varieties that you desire. We begin dispatch of pre-orders from late March, once all items in your order are available for dispatch in one delivery, as some varieties will be available a little later in the year than others. You will receive notification when this dispatch takes place along with tracking information but if you would like an estimated delivery date after placing your pre-order, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Order Now delivery option
From late March to autumn, herbs will be available for immediate dispatch subject to their availability. We dispatch our fresh potted herbs Monday-Wednesday each week to avoid postal delays over the weekend. We aim to dispatch all fresh herb orders in less than seven days, i.e. an order placed Thursday-Sunday would likely be dispatched the following Monday. Orders placed Monday-Tuesday, we would aim to dispatch by the Wednesday of that week.
If you have a specific dispatch date that you would like us to aim towards, please do not hesitate to let us know. We can't guarantee a particular date but will strive to do our best for you.

All orders are dispatched via a next day courier, ensuring that your herbs reach you promptly and in good health. For customers in the Highlands and Channel Islands this is a 48-hour delivery service. (From 2021 onwards we are unable to ship to Northern Ireland.)
Please note that we do not offer a collection service. Our site is not suitable to receive visitors and this is a rule that we have to apply universally out of respect to our neighbours and family.

We aim to reuse packaging as much as possible. Your herbs will be delivered in taupe recyclable pots. We are moving over to using plastic blister cell packaging which contains at least 90% recycled content and is itself 100% recyclable. These things are important to you and are important to us.Customer satisfaction
