Yes, they did. I think we have some Spanish Lavender and French Lavender. There are a couple that have been here for many years and then i planted a whole bunch more when i came. The Winter is very harsh here, even in the South of Sweden, as it is still 'the north' like you mention.
Not all of the ones i planted made it. But they were also pretty young when i bought them. So, the strong ones survived and have been thriving for a couple of years now. They aren't as well groomed and shaped as the ones in your shots... but someday when i have some land i will make me some of those beautiful globes!
