This is the first summer I've managed to keep a lavender plant alive. Sorry, I do not know the cultivar of this lavender. It is planted under the eaves of the greenhouse in full afternoon/evening sun. It gained a bit of height early on but has been static through summer
It has not died but it has not thrived either. I did plant in a raised bed with good drainage, the other plants in the bed are succulents. I also mulched it with white crushed rock to keep the soil cooler and reflect the light back to the underside of the plant branches.
I don't think the problem is humidity as this has been one tough summer for humidity. I think too much ground moisture has been my problem in the past. Your lavender hedge sounds lovely and might be doable with the correct cultivar. Kristi
