I'm afraid that one is toast.

Lavender is iffy in Z5. Often dies over winter.

Isn't there a lavender that is hardy is s'east Michigan? Thanks Rosie

Callirhoe123....most of my lavenders made it which is good considering the weather got below freezing this spring....yes a few died but I never want to be without lavender, love it. So I normally replace a few every year. But I'm having better luck with Phenomenal.....and yes, this is a variety that is hardier than most!

You're welcome Rosie, it's beautiful, you wont be sorry...just follow the normal recommendations for planting :) (good drainage, full sun, sandy & rocky soil etc.)

I have the recommendations, now I just need to find the plant! lol I am oooooon a mission!!!! Rosie

Cultivars in the Ellagance series do well. Ellegance Ice, Ellegance Sky, Ellegance Purple, etc. Munstead, Hidcote, Provence, Platinum Blonde are all good as well.

Rodney

Thanks! I have had Munstead and Hidcote as they seem to be more available in my area but they don't seem to be real hardy. Rosie

How is the soil where you have them planted? One that stays too wet over winter will kill them just as easily as cold temperatures will.

Rodney

I have somewhat sandy soil that I incorporate leaves etc., into when available. Rosie

Rodney, i have amended mine with sand and gravel...but i realize that is not a guarantee....
