Should I cut off these lavender buds? Daily 90° highs and only getting hotter. Zone 8a
Just bought from a plant shop as a rescue, shop owner says she thinks it was overwatering. Planted in a trough with drainage next to two other plants (portulacas + another lavender that’s much healthier). Gets mostly full sun until about 1pm, then afternoon shade. Been with me for about 3 days now, I’m reading that I might need to plant it in the ground but I can’t do that where I live. I should’ve inspected for root rot but I don’t remember seeing any. Should I give her a couple more days or chop these off?
