The message
from Sacha contains these words:

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.


Dunno. It clumps up into a stand of slightly peppermint-looking plants,
though slightly shinier, a tad more crinkled and strongly lemony when
handled.

I think you may be talking about Lemon Balm not Lemon verbena which is a
woody shrub 6-8 feet high and across the latter most certainly will not
take -20c but may survive a -4c in a place with good drainage.
