Is lavender considered a herb or a flower.

I managed to get 6 seeds to germinate the year before last. They aren’t overly impressed with the climate up here. They’re still in pots at the moment, and growing very slowly. I planted one from a GC in the garden when we first moved in here. It didn’t last long. So I’m pleased the ones in pots are still with us. They will be getting planted in my new garden though. Hopefully they will be a good size by then.
