Sea lavender dead or ok?

be prepared for the worse.

 

Hard to say. I am not familiar with Sydney conditions. Aspect will play a part also if the plants receive any direct sun.

Depending on your time frames, if any plants die I would certainly delay any further planting until spring (if possible).

 

Ok will monitor closely thanks

 

I acclimatise my plants for about a week or two. Let’s say they’ve been sitting in a nursery under shade cloth for months. You buy them then plant them in full sun. They aren’t going to be happy. Put them in morning sun, then move to more sun in a couple of days. Shade cloth structure may help if planting straight out into full sun position.

 

It's nearly winter, it takes longer for plants to adopt in this season. I just redid edible garden and some crops look similar. Good weather is required. Just keep an eye don't over water don't over fertilize new plants.

 

Sea Lavender (Limonium) are water-wise plants (drought tolerant) and tolerate poor soil and coastal conditions. They are native to the Canary Islands so that says they're tough.
They generally don't need fertiliser - plant them, water them in then forget about more water.
Make sure you plant them with other plants with similar needs, otherwise you'll end up giving some plants too much water and others not enough.

Perhaps your soil mix is too rich for Limonium? Or perhaps a bit wet?

I'd leave them where they are and just wait for them to adapt to their new position - hopefully they'll settle in and be good in spring.

 

Thanks for your feefback. They are being planted near orange cone flower and yellow buttons. Images below are the 2 flowers from google.

 

These plants have similar needs in terms of position and water needs so that's a good grouping. They should look nice together.

 

Thanks. Sounds like my landscape designer chose well.
