The message
from Lazarus Cooke contains these words:

I was told that my Lemon Verbena would not survive out of doors, and I
should keep it in a pot over winter.

But I've just read that in London (where I live) while the shoots may
be killed by the frost, it should grow back. I'm sure it would be
happier in garden soil.

Has anyone any experience?

I've never even heard rumours of it being tender. In my (onetime) garden
it survived an indicated -20°C during the winter of (IIRC) 1978/9. It
was still going strong fifteen years later.

Just to be su is everyone talking about the same plant? To me, this is
Lippia citrodora which has had a name change, I know.
