I'd cut back the plant taking off the flowers and new soft growth - DO
NOT
cut back into the woody growth. Sacrifice this years flowers for next
year.

and stick some of those bits in the ground, especially the smaller newer
bits. 'Tear' a bit off the branch it is attached to, so it has a 'heel'
and then stick that in the ground.

By doing this, 'some' will strike and you will have new plants from old
just in case big'un does keel over and pokes its roots in the air :-(

"I" can take lavender cuttings so it must be simple ;-}
