Hi there Amber
Lavender does not like to be transplanted during the heat (best in winter in
the south). It likes full sun, semi-shade in the southern summer, and a
quick draining soil with some lime. Is your potting mix too heavy (wet and
slow to dry) and acid? I find that lavender does best in the ground here in
the south.

Your answer makes the most sense so far, and it is the sadest cause I
think there is a good chance the plant does not like the soil (meaning
I will not be able to save it). The soil is just standard potting mix
with lots of loose sand. But the root ball (the soil surrounding the
roots that came with the plant) is retaining water.

Do you think it might help the plant to give water with a dilute
solution of gypsun in water?

I wonder why garden centers sell lavender at this time of year here in
south when it does not work well to transplant here at this time of
year, yet you can't get the things that do transplant and grow well
now like tomotoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, etc?

Thanks,

Amber
