Here's an article about trimming your oleanders:

Our experts feel they should be pruned by mid-September, but your Texas weather may still be appropriate right now.

You can plant lavender in spring or fall. We don't recommend certain retailers, but suggest you find your lavender plants locally or online from reputable nurseries.
