English lavender can put up with shade.
Other varieties can also.
Never worry about what is said about conditions.
If it dies it dies. Plants like to live as a rule.
Otherwise put another plant on the job.

Depends on latitude.

i have english lavender naturalised at my place - if it decides to reproduce
(which it did all summer, like a mad thing!) it just does - and in full
shade, the wrong soil, the wrong aspect. etc. i think it's one of those
plants which has a reputation that is less flexible than the reality. it's
really very tough & flexible ime.
