I love corriander and want to grow some next year if possible because the
dried stuff is useless, I've read a few snippets in here about it being
notoriously difficult to grow, has anyone successfully managed it and how? -
which variety? obviously it's going to be seasonal, so another question, can
it be frozen as it is for soups/curries etc or does it lose it's flavour
like the dried variety?

Sheltered spot, south facing, so more or less full sun, also got 2
greenhouses :-) Lancs.

Greenhouse. Summer only. I have major difficulty, but tend to not
water things all that often. It needs a lot of warmth, regular and
copious water and goes to seed at the slightest neglect.

Almost all herbs freeze well if you chop them roughly and put them
in ice cube trays, covered with stock or water. Some freeze dry,
but most don't. Few dry well.
