Munstead Lavender Hedge Kit – 9cm plants, priced by the metre

A softer, taller, very forgiving lavender hedge, delivered by the metre.

How the kit works

• Planted at 3 per metre (about 33cm apart). For a really dense hedge you can go up to 4 per metre
• 5 metres = 15 plants · 10 metres = 30 plants · 20 metres = 60 plants
• Every plant is a young Munstead in a 9cm pot, the same plant as our single, just more of them for less
• Kits cost about 10–15% less than buying the same number of single plants
• Not sure of the length? Pace it out (one long stride is roughly a metre) and round up; a spare plant is handy for gaps

Free UK delivery included, Northern Ireland too.

The lowdown

• English lavender with soft purple flowers and bright, fresh foliage
• A little taller and fuller than Hidcote, at about 60cm
• Suits an informal hedge along a sunny path, patio or boundary
• Shrugs off a hosepipe ban once settled

Drought-smart planting

Choose the sunniest, best-drained spot you have and dig grit or sharp sand into heavy soil. Give the row a good soak once a week for the first three weeks or so, then leave it to fend for itself except in a long dry spell. After flowering, trim into a neat dome without cutting into old brown wood. Hardy all year round, and sold as a culinary herb.

What arrives

15, 30 or 60 young Munstead plants in 9cm pots, depending on the kit you choose.
