Hello!! I was given this Stoechas last year, I put it in the ground. It survived, I am in zone 7b. Thank you so much for the information!! I didn't know anything about it. Now I do😊

My stoechas was doing so well. I just got it this year. She had multiple flowers. I put her outside in full sun 7a. I think she got too hot, as she started to wilt I brought it back inside to my garden window. She was doing better. We are having a a humid heat wave… for some reason it’s almost like the soil is cracking outside… it’s never done this before here. The air is incredibly humid but the soil is so dry it’s cracking. I heard you say you need to prune my plant is still somewhat green, wilted (as if it was sad not dead), do I need to wait to do this in the fall? Should I cut the shriveled up flowers off? I have her in a terra cotta pot on my patio currently. Would you bring her inside to the garden window? I’ve never had any success with lavender until I met her and I really want her to have a long healthy life.
