hello!! i’ve had trouble with lavender almost every time i’ve gotten it and here’s what i’ve learned:  
bottom watering is important!! if you top water or get the leaves wet they are prone to crisping from the sun, so you’ll want to water down at the bottom of the stems down by the soil. another thing, lavender likes to be completely dry before you water it again, and is very prone to root rot if you overwater it. lavender does like to be pruned so it will grow more as well :) you’ve got this!!

They go dormant during the colder months and revive in spring. It may be going dormant.  
They like full sun for 8 hours a day during the growing season.
