Lavender i have no problem just do not over water . All the geranium family that people call them like heat but they get a moth here that burrows into the stems of the plant and lay an egg ..that then eats the stems . They need to be sprayed against this moth (geranium moth)

I have abandoned geraniums . .they do OK March/April but going forward there are the moths about (light blue) and they then go seriously downhill . . likewise fuchsias, they cant take Spain heat.

I have found the Chilean jasmine ( Mandevilla) to be very easy to grow and maintain and has a variety of colors as an alternative to say, Fuchsias . . .
