It would help to know where you are, and what your climate is like right now - have you had a cool, rainy summer so far, or hot and dry? Has anything changed drastically in the past week or two?

Those look like fairly small plants, but you say "I usually don't have problems with my lavender plants, they are usually thriving". So are these new plants this year, or did you cut back old plants from last year? Or do you plant new ones each year? (that's what I have to do here in Florida because they just won't live through our humid summers)

Did you use a different potting mix than you have used before? Some of the "Moisture Control" mixes have that water holding gel stuff in them and can stay too wet for a dry climate plant like lavender.

Hello,

thanks for replying to my thread.
Well, by that I mean that I had success in the past with this type of lavender, I did grow quite a nice little garden piece at the place we previously lived, but I left them there, because they were growing nicely, and I left them in capable hands, I just couldnt take them out of that lovely garden. So I bought some new pots, and I replanted them into a bigger planter and these balcony planters..I live in the United Kingdom, London, So far our summer has been warm with the odd cooldowns at times, but nothing lavenders around here cannot meet. So basically, I bought them a few months back, replanted them about 2 months ago, they seemed to be nice and lush, and now they are just becoming scruffy, leaves are losing that vibrant green colour... NOthing changed in the last few weeks that I can remember. I really want to save them...
