# I planted this lavender maybe two weeks ago and just noticed she’s…

_Posted by Tay on 2026-04-28_

I planted this lavender maybe two weeks ago and just noticed she’s getting brown in the center. I water her everyday and is in a spot where it’s part shade. Please help!! There’s also no loose leaves around the base I know that could cause some issues as well. Thank you!! Happy gardening :)

Browning in the center is totally normal for lavender; it happens as the branches age and turn woody. When harvesting/pruning back the flowers, never cut the woody sections as those won't grow back. As it grows into a larger shrub, the inside will be leafless branches
