The plant was a gift
from someone close to my wife, and I don't know et how sentimental she
is about it.


Why not propagate new plants from this one?

'Tear off' a healthy branch taking a 'heel' with it from the stem and stick
it in a pot. Only needs to be a small branch of say a couple of inches. Take
a dozen, some you win, some you don't :-)

Then you will have 'Son of Lavender' (Or daughter)

I did this years ago and made a long Lavender Hedge at my parent's Hotel
:-))

If "I" can do it, so can any idiot
