Hi Heraldo, Sounds like it could be rot. Lavenders originate from the Med. and like full sun and not overwatered. If warm and wet (humid) the bottom of the plant starts to go black and rots. The so called English lavenders are the hardiest. The French ( the ones with the little toorie on the top) are a wee bit more softer. If in pots let them dry out between watering. I am presuming that you did not cut nthem right back. You do this in April, and you dont cut into the old wood. Maybe Tbird will have more advice for you. Cheers Skylight

Well I dont think I can offer any better advice than already given but bear in mind, they do much better in a sunny site and will probably take a couple of years to get good bushy plants.
Hope its not the dreaded black rot your plants have!
Good Luck Tbird+
