IME lavender is as tough as old boots but, like anything that's probably
spent its life in a greenhouse, the current weather may be a shock for it.
I have a couple of things in transparent plastic bags, hanging on hooks,
waiting the temperature to go above 5degC before planting out

It's not the temperature, but the sogginess. Like all of those
dry-habitat labiates, it loathes waterlogging and dislikes the
combination of soggy soil and cold.
