Does anybody have any good tips for lavender care, especially in pots, i.e.
feed,
pruning, hardiness etc?

Well drained, full sun, clip back as desired but not hard into the wood. As
to hardiness, which lavenders and where do you live?

I live in the South-East, so hardiness should not be too much of a problem.

I really need to keep them in pots for the patio.

However, I did clip a potted lavender back at this time last year and it never
recovered.

Most of the lavenders the English grow routinely should be hardy. But some
of the fancier ones aren't. I'm very fond of the green flowered lavender
but it won't take our winters.
