Lavender: cutting back into dead wood

 You know how “all the books say” not to cut Lavender back too hard, as it won't grow back.... well, a fortnight ago, I was doing the annual clip of a low Lavender hedge, and I spotted this:

 


Uh-oh... is that a bare brown patch coming up?

Hahaha! I'm teasing you, this was not a case of it having been cut back too hard, it's a case of two of the plants having died off, completely.


 

Oh dear! Quite, quite dead.

Why?

Well, probably not any particular reason: Lavender are not long-lived plants......
