Your experience is not universal. A shopping center here once had
beds of lavender which I regularly passed while walking to and
from work. These became rather overgrown from lack of attention.
One year, in late winter, these lavenders were cut back *very*
hard. Having imbibed the admonition "don't cut lavender back to
old wood" with my mother's milk, I was sure they were goners.

But to my intense surprise, the lavenders re-sprouted and grew
vigorously and well.

To every rule there is an exception.
