Lavender for zone 9. I live in Ocala, Florida

Question

Do you have a suggestion of the type of lavender that I can plant in central Florida. I read that there are two, Phenominal and Spanish. And where I might purchase the,plants.
Also, do you know if any rodents either underground or climbing will eat lily bulbs or canna lilies or gladiolus.
Thanks!
