Lavender plants look flattened

Question

Why do my lavender plants look as if they have been flattened in the middle? The plants have all flowered but are not pointing upright but rather spread out as though something has sat in the middle.

Answer 1

This normally happens because the plant do not get quite enough sunlight and they have weak stems. If you can get them more light, that would be helpful. Too little water is another factor.My daisies do this every year when the weather gets hot. After a good soaking, they usually perk right up. It may also help to prune back the plants so that they can produce more bushy growth.
