I purchased marigolds and planted them in various spots. They are slowly succumbing to the slugs or at least that's what I think is getting them.
On the north side I have lots of lavender. This is the third year for these plants. I am saddened by the amount of die off with these plants. Look at these pictures. What happened to make these die back so?
I trimmed as much of the dead parts out as I could. I even did it twice. I don't know if they will fill out or not.
This is the worst one. I don't know if any of it will come back.

Was it a harsher winter? Maybe they were more affected by temperature or ice this winter.
This past winter killed a few of my perennials as well. The one that I am particularly annoyed about is my climbing hydrangea. It died after our February thaw followed by a deep freeze a few weeks later. The lavender could have died back from a few things. It could be the variety, English lavender is the hardiest of them all. If they were wet for a prolonged period that could have done it. Lavender also aren't particularly long lived and should be replanted ever few years to keep your stock going.
