Question from
Hilary Buckley
We already have a Hidcote Lavender growing in our raised bed formal garden, but it grows to about 1m tall in summer and overshadows all the other plants. We need to find a dwarf, purple lavender for edging - we've heard that Munstead would be suitable, but before buying some 30+ plants, we need to be sure that it will be suitable.
