Hi Patricia,
I'm Linda and I found a video that shows exactly how to cut them so that they winter over nicely. This video also has a suggestion for what to do with those bushes in the spring. I hope this helps you get the information that you need. :)

Be sure to keep whatever you cut off dry it & use it. https://www.thriftyfun.com/Uses-for-Dried-Lavender-1.html OR https://www.diynatural.com/lavender-oil-uses/
If you're in a colder area, wait until Spring to prune, cutting no more than 1/3 length of each stem. Cut back any woody growth to stimulate better plant growth.
