Hi Allan, I don’t know if you saw Anneli’s response to you below. I agree that it maybe got too cold. You could try mulching it, but I didn’t have any luck growing it in Medicine Hat because of the chinooks and then the occasional -40. Too bad, because lavender keeps the mossies down.
Yes, that was my experience when I lived in southern Alberta, and the chinooks and -40 periods didn’t help. I tried mulching but that didn’t work either.
We tried growing lavender this year and it apparently does not like it here. Maybe next year. Happy Sunday Lynette. Allan

it probably froze over the winter – maybe?

You need a lot of mulch to counteract that kind of cold.
Haha! 😁 I was young and hopeful! (Or unrealistic, maybe?)
It’s good to be hopeful.
Yes, definitely.
I love lavender too. I should put some in my garden.
Lavender also helps to keep mosquitoes away. They don’t like it, so having it in your garden is a win-win!
Lovely display!
And the scent of lavender is lovely, too. Not overwhelming, just mildly noticeable.
