I always plant my lavender plants next to my porch (it also smells good, when we are coming and going), it is a stone base porch that seems to help it overwinter by protecting it from the wind and seems to give it enough warmth to survive our zone 5 winters.
Don't over water lavender they really hate it. I use some store bought compost material mixed in the soil. When you harvest the flowers, don't cut down more than maybe a third of the way down the stem.
Other than that .. I think that is basically it.
Good luck and have fun!
