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.
