Sorry, it looks like you lost that lavender. I live in West Texas and when I planted mine I still mixed in gravel and sand into the soil to make sure it was very loose and drained well. I planted them in slightly raised areas also ... they really do like it very well drained. I lost many of my lavenders over the years when we had wet winters but I still have 3 plants that have grown very large and are currently in bloom. Our soil is alkaline and the top soil is almost pure sand.
