yep, hack it back as far as you dare and a little bit further, otherwise
next year's will grow on an ugly stump of dead wood

Except that if you cut back into dead wood it may not regenerate. My
neighbour killed a whole hedge of lavender that way.

btw - the convention in this ng is to bottom post. Top posting messes up
the logical order of the posts.

How far back can I prune my lavender? I have five plants and all have
grown
to about twice the size I would like them to be. Now that the flowers are
going off would it be ok to cut them right back?
