Can this lavender be revived?!

After a morning of trawling many shops this morning looking for lavender, the best I could find is attached!! Do you think it can be revived?! I thought for £3 it's worth a try!

Completely new to gardening, posted the other day about fruit and veg and I think I've caught the gardening bug!!

Looks fine to me, just give a good drink and plant out in the ground or in a pot.

I've soaked it in water and am currently getting pots ready. Do I need to give it feed?

Lavender doesn't really need much feeding, so if you are potting them up in new compost it should have all the nutrients needed for this summer.

You might want to feed them to give them a boost next spring though.

Water, you've done that, give them a little trim with a pair of scissors - not too much, half inch or so - to make them bush out. They will be fine.

Thank you so much!! Fingers crossed they will be OK 🤞

Looks fine, but don't drown it - lavender doesn't need much water and hates having its feet wet.

I've put loads of stones in the base of the pots for drainage, hopefully that'll work! I've had lavender in the past and it died, but I think it's because I had it in a very shady area of the garden. I've put this lavender in the sunlight so hopefully it'll do well
