Rosea Lavender — Pink Without Trying Too Hard

Most people expect lavender to be purple, and most of the time it is. Rosea is an exception that proves it does not have to be. The flowers are a soft, pale pink — closer to old rose than to anything else — and they sit above green calyces that give the whole spike a fresher, lighter look than purple varieties. It is still unmistakably lavender: the shape, the scent, the silver-grey foliage, the bees. But the colour shifts the mood of a border from Mediterranean to cottage garden in a way that no amount of purple can.

As a plant, Rosea behaves like any other English lavender. It is fully hardy, wants sun, needs drainage, flowers in summer, and clips very well. The foliage is a shade greener than Hidcote's silvery grey, which is subtle but noticeable when you plant them side by side — and planting them side by side is exactly what a lot of people do. A hedge alternating Rosea and Hidcote, pale pink then deep purple, is one of the easiest and best-looking low hedges you can make. The flowers are smaller than Hidcote's and Mrs Ashridge - who makes the lavender bags and has a nose like a bloodhound - does not think the pink smells as strong.

An Heirloom English Lavender

Rosea has been in cultivation since at least the 1930s — the earliest references date it to before 1937. You will sometimes see it listed as 'Jean Davis' in North American nurseries, which appears to be the same cultivar under a different name. It has no dramatic origin story, no famous garden attached to it, and no breeder's name to drop. It is simply a pink sport of English lavender that has been quietly growing in gardens for the best part of a century. That kind of persistence says more about a plant than any marketing campaign.

Planting Companions

The obvious combination is with Hidcote — alternating pink and purple for a two-tone hedge. This works at three plants per metre for each variety, planted alternately (so six plants per metre in total, two rows or a single alternating line). Beyond that, Rosea's softer colour sits well with other pastel plants: white roses, hardy geraniums, and pale catmint. For a pink-themed border, pair it with old shrub roses and rosemary — the blue rosemary flowers in spring, the pink lavender in summer. For an all-lavender combination with white, try it alongside Arctic Snow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Rosea and Hidcote lavender?

Colour, mainly. Rosea is pale pink, Hidcote is deep purple-blue — they are the two ends of the English lavender colour range. Rosea is slightly taller (50–70cm vs 45–60cm) and its foliage is a shade greener. In terms of hardiness, flowering time, and general behaviour, they are very similar although Rosea's flowers are smaller. Plenty of people plant them together for a two-tone hedge, which is probably the best use for pink lavender.

Is Rosea lavender good for cooking?

In terms of taste, it is as good as any other English lavender, and the paler flowers look great if they are used as a garnish on biscuits, cakes and ice cream. For cooking, we would also recommend Munstead, which has the same culinary qualities in a more compact plant.

Does Rosea lavender come in a mixed pack?

We sell a mixed English lavender hedge pack that includes varieties like Hidcote, Loddon Pink and Arctic Snow. Rosea is not currently in that pack, but you can of course buy it separately and create your own combination.

Can I grow Rosea lavender in a pot?

Certainly. At 50–70cm, Rosea is well within the size range that does well in containers. A pot 30cm across with gritty, free-draining compost is all it needs. The pink flowers work beautifully on a sunny doorstep or terrace. More detail in our lavender growing guide.

When does Rosea lavender flower?

June to August, roughly the same window as Munstead and a little earlier than Hidcote. In a warm year, the first flowers can open in late May. If you cut the spent spikes promptly, you may get a smaller second flush later in summer.

Excellent idea, could be better executed
I love the idea, but my problem with this product is that the bottom of the socks are made too short. The socks tend to slouch up when you wear them for awhile, so the entire ball of your foot will be exposed at some point. I would like to find a pair that cover the ball of the foot as well. But the socks are well made and attractive.

These are quality materials!
The design and materials are above average. They fit great and are so comfortable. I have nerve damage and need open toes. These work perfectly. The colors are cute and did not fade upon washing. I will definitely order more, now that I’ve received my “trial” set. lol

Absolute game changer for chronically dry feet/cracked heels
Size: S (up to size 7)-Beige
I had recently bought a pair of silicone heel/ankle wraps to fill out my boot a little since I noticed my heels were lifting when I was skating. I tested them out around the house and noticed they left my heels softer while the rest of my sockless feet got quite dry. So I got these full foot silicone socks to see the effect of having my whole foot covered. I slather the entirety of my feet with Dr. Scholl's Severe Cracked Heel Restoring Balm (love how convenient it is to apply it to my feet with the solid stick form) and then slip them into these silicone socks. After just a couple hours, when I pull out my feet they're (a teeny bit sweaty at first), but then overall soft and smooth and have absorbed the balm fully leaving barely any residue in the silicone sock. I find these silicone socks generally comfortable; I wear them in the evenings while relaxing on the couch, take them off after a couple hours and let my feet breathe a bit, and then reapply my balm and socks and wear them to bed. If I wake up in the middle of the night, which I almost always do (not because of the socks), I'll take the socks off and allow my feet to breathe again. I wear a woman's size 6 shoe and the small size is pretty comfortable. However, I made the mistake of wearing them while being on my feet for a couple hours straight during household chores -- they must've somehow cut off my circulation a bit with the standing, so I wouldn't recommend wearing these silicone socks while being active. And since they're not exactly my foot size, they slide around sometimes and will start to feel tight at my big toe. But if that happens, I just tug on the toe area of the sock to give my big toe more wiggle room and problem solved. Prior to wearing these socks, I was soaking and doing heavy duty exfoliation of my feet every week. These socks seem like they'll work to help me extend the time between soakings and exfoliations. The 5 pack is a great value. So far none have torn, so they seem rather durable. Not sure what I could even do to tear a hole in these.
