Dozens ?!?!? :eek:
Black leaves can surely point to frost damage unless the ground is waterlogged, Greenfinch, in which case they might be drowndead (I made that word up as well :P ).
Have you pulled one up and checked the roots ??

Hi greenfinch. I believe lavender likes near enough full sun and well drained soil. Like placi points out they could have got wet feet. I think it is hardy enough to withstand frost.

A wee bit of advice required please. I popped into Lidl today and they were selling Agapanthus Africanus roots cheaply. What I need to know is when is the best time to plant it. I can find out nearly everything else I want to know like where it can be planted but not when :shrug: I am thinking it is now and if no-one knows the definitive answer that what I'll do. :)

In spring, Jacksparrow. Plant the crown 2" deep and in full sun (don't like shade).
RHS gives full details.
