    Hi

    I planted 2 lavenders couple of years ago.

    One is doing well, the other isn't. Ie the purple one looks well but the white one....just beside is isn't!! They are getting plenty of sun.

    Any advice on how to save this?? The white one only has a little white growth on left

    Its a bit of a miracle that the purple one is flowering, neither of them is ideally situated. Lavender likes a light, sandy soil in full sun and needs to be trimmed back after flowering. Eventually - fairly soon I think, a season or two - the purple one will go the same way as the white one. The white one has had plenty of growth in the past, as you can see from the dead wood, but it has exhausted itself struggling with the conditions. Not a lot you can do with them at this stage I think.
