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.

This book will educate and inform! A+
Format: Paperback
Now in my 7th decade, I spent my entire career in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. I can attest to the veracity of Dr. Brawley's dissertation. The maxim that all physicians and surgeons promise is the essential promise to "First, do no harm." Dr. Brawley teaches that not all who purport to care for us and our loved ones adhere to this promise. Just ask a vet. On the battlefield virtually all medical care is superb. Here at home, alas, it is not so. Too often, not always, but way too often he is right. Here's the bottom line. If you're not comfortable with what your being told about your health, or that of a loved one, don't hesitate, find another MD who though you may not like what they may say to you, you trust them with your life. That is exactly what you're doing. Much of the seeming heroics in medicine/surgery are really about making or saving money for the drug industry, or hospital, or doctor, or insurance carrier, and not about saving your backside. Certainly not always, perhaps not even most of the time, but way too often. Read this book and you'll be radically better equipped to understand just what may be driving the responses of the health care systems to your malady, and how you can assure the appropriate care for yourself or a loved one. Are there great doctors and hospitals out there? You bet there are. There are also those who couldn't care less about quality health care for you and are only focused on their own backside. This book will educate and inform you.

"More" is not "better"
Format: Kindle
I had the privilege of working with Otis during part of his training at the National Cancer Institute at a time that policies on PSA and mammography screening were being newly scrutinized with respect to risk/benefit. The notion that screening might actually do more harm than good was seen as absolute heresy and I fondly remember the wonder and amazement in Otis' eyes as he unraveled to me just how this counter-intuitive idea could be so. Twenty years later, the truths I learned from Otis back then are still not widely appreciated among patients, indeed even doctors more sadly. I eagerly snatched this book up not only because I knew Otis and expected a riveting review of healthcare but because my experience in pharmaceutical development has led me to participate unintentionally in some of the perverse systems of conflicts of interest that characterize our healthcare system. I am at a personal watershed and this book is a strong antidote for what ails me, i.e. I feel emboldened to take my career in the direction of a solution rather than continue to contribute to the problem. Written for the general audience, We Do Harm breaks the ranks of legions of doctors who are invested in perpetuating a broken but remunerative healthcare system by introducing specific and by no means isolated instances where patients have been harmed. This book is at once disparaging of blind trust of one's physician and optimistic in that some stars like Otis and microcosms like Grady Memorial can and do avoid patient-disadvantaged conflicts of interest. This book provides evidence and motivation for every person in every role they engage in in the healthcare system: patient, consumer, provider, insurer, politician. No one can escape the relevance and import of the key message of this book that "more" is not always "better." Until such time, if ever, that our healthcare system operates under transparency, this is a must read for all. That means you! Now! It can't wait! I am a believer that healthcare quality will come from the bottom up and not the top down and this book exemplifies this spirit; read it and be empowered to ask the hard questions as to who is motivated to provide what care and at what personal gain.

Helpful for nursing school and NCLEX

This book was helpful in my nursing school journey. I still use it and it breaks it all down in simpler terms to better understand the material. Highly recommend for med-surg nursing.
