Miss Katherine Lavender — The One the Pinks Were Waiting For

If you have looked at pink lavenders and thought they all seemed a bit thin, a bit pale, a bit apologetic, Miss Katherine is the one that changes your mind. She is the largest and boldest of the pink English lavenders, with a wide, bushy habit and flowers that are a proper pale purple-pink rather than the washed-out lilac you get from some seed-raised alternatives. The RHS trialled her alongside every other pink lavender they could find during their five-year Hardy Lavender Trial at Wisley, and she came through with the Award of Garden Merit. The other pinks did not.

The plant forms a spreading dome, broader than it is tall, with stems that spray outwards and carry the flowers well clear of the foliage. That foliage, incidentally, is green rather than the grey-green you expect from English lavenders. It gives the whole plant a fresher, less Mediterranean look, which suits cottage garden planting and mixed borders where grey foliage can sometimes feel repetitive. She clips well and makes a low informal hedge, though at 60–80cm wide she needs more room than compact varieties like Munstead.

Norfolk Lavender and the Pink Revolution

Norfolk Lavender at Heacham raised Miss Katherine in the late 1980s, the same nursery that gave us Imperial Gem, Princess Blue, and Royal Purple. For decades, Heacham was the centre of English lavender breeding; the fields ran down to the North Norfolk coast and at peak season you could smell them from the road. The nursery closed in its original form, but the varieties it produced are still among the best available. Miss Katherine's AGM was awarded in 2002, following the comprehensive RHS trial at Wisley that ran from 1996 to 2001. She was the clear winner among the pinks, beating Jean Davis (too similar to Loddon Pink) and the various unnamed seed-raised pinks that turned up in the trade looking nothing like each other.

What to Plant Alongside

Miss Katherine's pale pink works as a contrast to the deep purple of Hidcote; alternating the two along a path or low wall gives you a planting that looks deliberate without any fussing over timing, because both flower at roughly the same period. For a softer, all-pink scheme, pair her with Rosea, which has a slightly different shade and a more compact habit. Beyond lavender, she sits well with rosemary, hardy geraniums in pale blues, and old shrub roses. The green foliage, rather than grey, means she blends into a cottage border more easily than some lavenders, which always look as though they would rather be in Provence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Miss Katherine compare to Rosea and Loddon Pink?

Miss Katherine is the biggest and most vigorous of the three, with a wider spread and bolder flowers. Rosea is more compact and a softer pink; Loddon Pink is tidier and more upright. All three hold the RHS AGM. If you want the most impact from a single plant, Miss Katherine wins. For a neat low hedge where the plants need to be uniform, Loddon Pink is probably the better choice.

Is Miss Katherine lavender good for cooking?

All English lavenders are good for cooking, and Miss Katherine is no exception. The scent is sweet and properly floral, with none of the camphor note you get from Dutch varieties. Use the flowers fresh or dried in biscuits, shortbread, sugar, and ice cream. Pick them just as they start to open, when the oil concentration is highest.

When is the best time to plant lavender in the UK?

Late April to June, when the soil has warmed up. Lavender roots establish much faster in warm ground. Planting into cold, wet soil in early spring is the single most common cause of losses. If in doubt, wait until May. Our lavender growing guide covers preparation and spacing in detail.

Does lavender attract bees?

Few plants do it better; Lavender flowers produce nectar over a long period and the open flower structure gives bees easy access. Miss Katherine's broad, spreading habit gives pollinators a wide landing area; on a warm July afternoon you can hear the whole plant buzzing. Plant near where you sit and you get the scent as well as the show.

Can lavender grow in clay soil?

Not well because Lavender needs sharp drainage while clay holds water around the roots, which causes rot. If clay is all you have, dig in plenty of grit and plant on a slight mound so water runs away from the crown. Better still, grow in a raised bed or a large pot where you control the compost mix. A gritty, free-draining mix with no added fertiliser is what lavender wants; it actually performs worse in rich soil.

Works. . .
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
Left 10% ethanol gas in my 3500 watt inverter and forgot about it. After I got it started, it was suging and alsmost unusable even with fresh gas. Drained all the gas and used a measuring cup to get the fuel/additive ratio right and let the generator run wiuth a 1000 watt work light. AFter about 15 minutes, the surging stopped and engine smoothed out. Happened faster than I expected. Taught me a lesson about gas decomposition. Promised the genny I learned a lesson to use stabilizer. Easier than doing a carb rebuild.

Tried as a last resort... It worked!
Color: Blue, Number of Items: 1
My 3.0 MerCruiser stern drive was hard starting and would not hold at idle and ran really rough under load. I put 2 cans of S*Foam Marine through the tank and replaced the fuel filter and the spark plugs. With only a slight improvement I decided to bring it to my dealer. They replaced the distributer cap, rotor and plug wires and sent me on my way. The idle was good, but under load (headway speed) it ran really rough. Brought it back and they swapped out the carburetor and lake tested it. Back at home it ran great for a one-hour ride. A week later I tried to start it and the idle was bad again (engine shaking, erratic RPM). Almost dragged it back to the dealer but thought I would try this first. Per instructions I added this to about 15 gallons already in the boat and then topped it off with 5 gallons of fresh gas. Let it idle at about 1500 RPMs for 15 minutes and WOW, it's purring like a kitten. Next time, this will be my first resort!

It works!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Individual
A short story long---LOL---My zero turn started acting quirky-it would not run at full power and would begin to stall when put under a full load - like trying to mow some taller or thicker grass- never did stall since I would immediately kill the mower but obviously it was not right. I checked and changed the fuel filters-this one has 2 . One in the pick up line in the tank and one is inline just before the fuel pump unit. No help! So, before I dropped the big bucks to have the local farm dealer come and pick it up (at $75 per pickup and return) plus h=whatever shop charges that would result I thought "What the heck, lets give this stuff a try" I gambled $6 . I put in 5 ounces for the 5 gallons tank, and filled it with the gas I had on hand- should have been relatively fresh gas -no more than 2 weeks since pumped . Well, whatever the cause of the issue within about 15 to 30 minutes of low speed running- mostly at idle - the engine seemed to be idling smoothly as opposed to before where it surged but never died, I gave it a try at mowing. YEA!!!! full power and no bogging down - I finished mowing the yard and a part of the pasture (not yet grown up much so it is not requiring the rotary cutter YET) My only guess is perhaps a batch of either old gas or some water in the gas can or mower tank but whatever the cause it fixed it --and all for $6.
