Jesse,
We had a wonderful speaker once that told us to put several scoops of gravel
in the bottom of the hole when you plant lavender.  I think it is making a
big difference in my lavender plants.  I think this allows the roots to NOT
sit in water for long.
Hope that helps.  I planted 3 new "Provance" lavenders this year that I got
at the Sand Springs Herb Festival. They have done wonderful in one year!
 She  also recommended "Hidcote" and " Munstead" as being good for our
climate.  I planted those right away and they are doing fantastic.
Tricia


I had to replace my Grosso Lavenders because we had so much rain this
> summer they died. And they are in a RAISED bed that drains well...so you
> can imagine how much rain it takes to wipe out my lavenders.
