Lavender - can prune now, but seeds attract goldfinches if you leave it
till spring to prune.

I wish we got goldfinches :-(

Either way, don't cut back too hard (only as far as you can still see
green shoots) because it may not re-shoot. Lots of people will now tell
you they cut there's back to the ground with no problem, but equally
there's lots of people (eg my neighbour) who lost all their lavender after
a too-vigorous prune.

As did I.

Don't risk it.
