I have always been told humidity is the downfall on Lavender. Most of us live in more humid areas.
@briarpatchmumsie ~ Please tell us where you live and what type of Lavender you grow?
@lovemyhouse ~ Debra, have you found another Provence or given up on it?
I have an old southern gardening magazine that told of a successful lavender grown in south Louisiana. The bed was raised and well draining. The top of the bed was mulched with a white rock which kept the roots cooler. I shall have to dig for the article as I don't recall the type they had success with. I love Lavender but have no luck growing it. I am always astounded to see it offered for sale in springtime but just brush and smell the foliage and leave it on the rack.
