This herb dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

I loved my lemon verbena but having moved house in late January and having no greenhouse, our plant didn't appreciate a nighttime temperature of -6c and it died.

I have one of these planted in a sheltered sunny spot in the garden (sheltered from the wind since I live near the coast, which is thriving, and two others in containers. It's a beautiful plant — one of my late wife's favourites

I use this plant for the scent on the leaves.

The leaves smell so delicious. Although mine currently in a pot, will ideally plant it in garden as previous experience suggests thrive better that way.

Lemon verbena is not the most attractive plant to look at, but more than makes up for with it's fragrance and uses. Just rub past the the plant and you'll get a scented lemon smell and when you dry the leaves you can make a great tasting tea. It's not too difficult to keep, in a pot or container is best with well drained soil facing the sun. It loves dry conditions, so don't over water and in the winter do not allow to freeze, place in green house or conservatory. It likes to be cut back hard later in autumn as you'll get strong re-growth in the spring. Great to have a useful plant and this is one!

It was a present for a friend. I will need to contact him to see if it survived the winter weather. Too early to tell yet.

It was a present for someone . They have a conservatory so it can easily overwinter there. I have a couple of these plants as well and they overwinter in a cold greenhouse covered in fleece. They are not hardy plants but will keep fine like this. Lovely plants with such an intense fragrance of lemon sherbet and they can be used in cooking too.

Hello there, One of the nicest things to plant that will help to discourage gnats and flying menaces is lemon verbena or Lippia Citriodora. This is a wonderful plant with pretty white flowers in summer but the real attraction is its lemon scented leaves which discourage flies. It is a slightly tender plant though that needs some shelter over winter. Other plants include garlic or garlic chives, Chamomile, Artemesia, Pyrethrum and Feverfew. I hope this gives you a few ideas. Helen Plant Doctor

There are some basic rules to follow when choosing the right pot for your garden. The first is that it always looks much better if you go for the larger ones rather than lots of smaller ones. If it’s a pot filled with summer colour, like pelargoniums that

On the whole, I’m a pretty rugged sort of person. A disproportionate amount of my gardening time seems to be spent hammering scaffold boards together, or powering my way through waist high weeds at the business end of a petrol strimmer, or hauling improba
