Hi all. I have this little lavender bush. It is crawling forward and on the ground bc of the little tree that has grown over it (was like this when I moved in). I plan to prune that tree, letting the lavender stand tall and straight and no longer on the ground like this. I read online that I can not cut the woody area since new growth can not start there. But as you can see from the second photo, where my index finger is, there is some growth on the woody parts. So, my question is, can I cut right after my index finger and still get flowers next year? I intend to cut as much of the woody parts as possible to make the plant shorter and less woody. Thanks.
