Lavender - what to do???

[CHoney]

I have 2 small lavender bushes that did not have flowers this year. One is new, and one is in the shade so I think I have to move it.

Do you cut back the stems? If so, how much?

Also, when is a good time for transplanting. And do you need to cover them or do anything special for the winter?

Thank you!

I like to leave my lavender alone during the winter (and I live in CO) because I like the structure of it. In spring, I cut it about 2/3 back. You don't have to cut it back though and can just cut out any dead branches that remain after all the leaves have flushed out. Of course, living in BC, you may have a different variety of lavender than I am growing. I hope I have helped somewhat!

Thank you for your help! I'll leave it and trim it in the Spring like you suggested. It's not very big, so I wasn't sure if I should trim it or not.
