I've had this problem with different plants over the last few years; most are multi-stemmed perennials like this lavender.
The plants start off good and strong in the early spring, but then the lower leaves get dark and mushy-looking and die back. Although it doesn't kill the plant, it does seem to set it back and keep it from thriving.
We did have an excessively wet spring this year. Is it a fungus, or bug, or what? I would.like to be prepared next year if it's something I can treat.
Bug or disease affecting lower half of plants?
Probably too wet. Maybe a short male dog?
LOL...no short male dogs visiting my garden.
Is there any bugs on the plant? You have to chect it clearly.
