Hello, I've tried a few times to maintain differ types of lavendar. It is supposed to like sun for 6 plus hours. I get plenty of sun. It seems like it gets too much. Like it gets burnt. The purple gets super dull. My back and side get the most sun. Back is more than 6. Side is a good 6. And front is maybe 4ish. And the back is morning . Side is afternoon. And front is later afternoon evwning. Can pwople help me unserstand where is best to plant lavendar for me? And how to water? Daily, should it always be moist? Never dry? I now have spanish lavendar btw. Thanks

Hii, try to check on your lavenders roots and see if there’s any root rot causing the dullness, lavender likes grit, fast draining, lean soil too
