I just bought Spanish lavender and English lavender for the first time. I don't know how often I'm suppose to prune them or what season. Any advice??

I've always rad to lightly prune them after the blooms are spent.

In California, pruning lavender depends on the bloom time of the plants. There are good tips here: http://www.californiaheartland.org/this_season/episode_903/homegrown.htm

generally lavenders are pruned once a year. Since California is warm, you could prune in the fall. Once the blooms have dried and gone grey, prune down a good third. You can even go a bit lower just don't go too far into the old wood. Givethem a nice rounded bowl cut for great shape next season.
