give them some fertilizer and soak them in well
remove the rest of the lawn, cover the soils with that black soil and add a three inches of mulch, making certain not to let the mulch touch the trunks of the plant
Annabelles are deciduous, they will loose their leaves. Do not cut them down till fear of frost is over.
***leave all of the stems of the Annabelles intact over winter and then cut them off within 2" when spring is a certainty***

I would caution you to not put multiple forms of Lavander close together. Try not to divide or split up large zones of colour. Keep large undiluted. You could use largish pots and cultivate other forms in them one form per pot, concentrations of colour rather than diffuse impressionistic blurs of colour. always go for strength on strength. April 30, 2020: Obtained plant (planted two more lavandula angustifolia (from Liguria) on the top of the sunny driveway patch)

For a totally different look that highlights the exfoliating bark of ninebark, you can choose a bunch of the thickest stems to save. Choose three, five, or seven, and make sure that they aren't crossing each other and that they have a similar angle coming out of the ground. Clean up any branches and small twigs off the stems as high as you can, leaving some at the top. These will become the trunks of your multistem, small ninebark "tree." As the tree grows through the years, keep removing the lower small branches and twigs off the large central leader trunks. As they mature, these trunks will have beautiful exfoliating white bark, and the tops will weep over, forming a beautiful flowering canopy. Any limbing up should be done from late spring to early fall.

Diablo ninebark is a sun-loving shrub whose foliage is interesting in spring, summer, and fall. During the spring and early summer, it sports dark purple foliage, which contrasts well next to brighter plants. The foliage tends to get greener as the weather heats up.
