    I think its best to wait for it to go dormant first. Theres been a couple of other lavender pruning threads about there lately.

    Hi Nathan the best time to trim lavender down is right after it has flowered.

    Hey, Nathan! I know Wrexham. Used to live in Chester and my dad had a shop in Wrexham. That was way back in 1957, mind. Guess it's changed a bit since then!
