    Mine are looking a bit sick, I think it's because I left them in a really sunny position without enough water over a few hot days.

    Are you sure they're totally dead, or is it just the leaves gone brown/dropped off? I'm going to give mine a good soaking by standing them in a tray full of water, and leave them in a more shaded place for a few days.

    I've been watering them in this dry spell but not too much, the leaves haven't fallen off,but looking very sick and brownish.

    Yeah, that sounds like mine.

    I assumed they'd dried out a little bit and maybe got slightly scorched, as they are really small. My bigger lavender plants I grew from plugs about 2 years ago are still fine, but they're bigger and tougher.

    Mine have too, I just came on here to ask advice. I don't think any of them have grown at all!

    Hopefully someone will come along and tell us what were doing wrong, or may be we should contact suttons on mass Monday all at same time.

    I think ringing them en masse is a great idea. Count me in. Anyone else up for this? Might be a faulty batch/user error.

    Telephone using saynoto0870 is 01803 696321.
