Hello,After the intense rain we’ve had

United Kingdom Gb

Hello,

After the intense rain we’ve had, some of my lavender plants are looking a little worse for wear, with some yellowing sprigs and browning leaves. I’ve brought the whole lot inside for the evening and placed them on a drying rack under a south facing skylight. I had two of my lavender plants die suddenly two weeks ago, and I want to avoid the same fate for the ones looking poorly. Any advice would be helpful. I was planning on starting their indoor acclimatization soon, so that I can bring them indoors for the winter. Many thanks!

welcome to GoY

Yes we have had rather a lot of rain. As they are in pots, and some have suddenly died I would tip them out and check the roots for vine weevil grubs. [brown headed white grubs that look c-shaped], then repot in a free draining compost like John Innes No 3. They appear to be English lavender going by the last photo then they will be ok in a sheltered spot outside.
where about's in the UK are you?

My lavender ain't looking that great either. It's rather sparse. They do like dry arid conditions. Not like what we have here in New York, nor the UK.
