Drought - 3-5dl of water with high temperatures, even twice a day, is not sufficient, especially as the plant has got bigger with a bigger root system since you first potted it up. Give it a litre or two now, then another litre in an hour or so, so it has a chance to get soaked right through all the soil. Then you'll need to cut out dead areas, but first ...

It is a Rhododendron of some variety; rhododendrons used to be split between azaleas and rhododendron, but now they are all classed as rhododendron. What used to be known as azalea types usually have smaller leaves which may or may not be deciduous, and they do not tend to have such large clusters of flowers held as one head as is visible on your image. From ...

That's an annual sunflower known as either Mexican Sunflower or by it's botanical name, Tithonia. They're large plants and tend to have a lot of flowers over the summer. It's a good pollinator plant as well. As for caring for your plant, there's not a whole lot you have to do other than keep it watered. Wikipedia has a good article on the genus.

Pelargoniums (which is what "annual" geraniums actually are) take more than eight weeks to flower from seed, which is why many gardeners either root cuttings from the previous year or start seeds indoors, in mid-late winter. In fact, this site and this site both give a range of 12 to 16 weeks. Your plants will eventually bloom, but maybe not until ...

Lavender is an aromatic plant and the flowers are scented; but they do not scent the air, both the flowers and the leaves have to be bruised or rubbed to release the scent, so if you were expecting to stand nearby and smell the lavender once in flower, you won't. Lavandula augustifolia is the main variety used to produce lavender oil, when both the flowers ...
