How NOT to kill lavender

How NOT to kill lavender

Water sparingly. A newly planted lavender needs water for the first month; after that, only in extreme heat.

Don't feed. Don't pamper. Lavender thrives on poverty.

Yellowing lower leaves and a sad droop in summer = overwatered, not under. Hold off, let the pot dry out completely, and it usually recovers.
