I guess ignorance is bliss. I have four lavender plants (have no idea of the name) that I put in at the beginning of last year. They bloomed and grew and looked fine with their pinestraw mulch. Then over the winter my family members buried everything in pinestraw, including the lavender (they were being helpful). The lavenders are huge and blooming and covered with bees. I did not have a chance to trim them at all. I took a very bad picture, and you really can't tell how big this plant is.
