My two Hidcote re going the same way at the bottom and I've used Maxicrop with added seaweed extract and they've had a good watering now and then as we've had no rain to speak of since the end of April except for a couple of downpours. They're in a big stone tub in soil and both tubs are in full sun except in the early morning. Looking up for the reasons it appears it can be due to over watering or too much nitrogen. Lavenders are native to arid Southern Europe where they thrive in coastal areas with alkaline, low to medium fertility, sandy soils that do not retain moisture and with little rainfall. OOOps!  :ohmy: :(
