# French Lavender issues: I noticed earlier this week that my lavender…

_Posted by Sara Oakland Ca on 2024-07-29_

French Lavender issues: I noticed earlier this week that my lavender had a dead spot, and then each day it traveled through the plant. It was planted in 2019 and every season I cut it back and keep it small and it grows back so big and lovely.

I trimmed all the flowers (and I’m drying them) and I’m ready to say goodbye to this queen because I don’t think there’s any coming back from this. Any thoughts about why this just happened?

Are there any pests or disease spots you can see? Hard to tell with a far way photo, the only other thing I could think would be excessive heat but idk why it would only affect one part

Same exact thing happened to my lavender I planted in May. I cut out the dry dead parts and increased the watering time and fertilized it and it’s doing better.
