Hotzcatz, I look forward to hearing your results.
Lavender and rosemary both hail from the Meditteranean, and both need excellent drainage, but lavender in particular is prone to root rot in warm humid conditions. It can handle chill better than rosemary (depending on variety). None of the lavenders are rated to grow well in Hawai'i ... even though it happens, but rosemary is.
Both lavender and rosemary get woody and unsightly with too much fertilizer and water, do best when neglected.
It's great finding this garden forum.
See, I wouldn't have thought to look for seeds to get new varieties of plants. I've had very little luck with seed packets here, except cosmos, which doesn't count. And they're expensive! Please post which ones you find to be rewarding.
