Normal lavender (Lavandula angustifolia, probably also L latifolia and hybrids) is very hardy, but most other lavenders are not properly hardy. French lavender (Lavandula stoechas, is the one most often given that name, though some others also) in particular, only survives the mildest winters where I live in the Chilterns.
