What kind of lavenders do you have? This 5' monster was a 4" plant 15 months ago. It has been hacked and trimmed a couple of times too. Some of the smaller, less woody cultivars need more water than the bee magnet in the picture. I water every other day in summer and every 3 or 4 in the cooler months. Water them in the evening so you do not boil the roots. All of mine are in full blistering sun and doing fine. A few more varieties will go in as the lawn destruction project continues.

Do not over feed them. They do not appreciated it. I have killed a couple with kindness.
