Mail-Order Lavender Transplant Shock

Hardening Off Prevents Sunburn

Lavender that browned within days of planting likely suffered from sudden sun exposure after shipment. Always acclimate mail-order plants: place in shade for 3-5 days before planting.

Recovery Steps

• Keep watered but well-drained.
• Wait several weeks for new growth from base.
• If no recovery, contact supplier for replacement.

Lavender requires full sun, excellent drainage, and lean soil once established.
