Which herbs can be overwintered?

That's interesting Coomber. I've just got a Lemon Verbena and saw that it's only half hardy. Apparently it's only hardy to 4 degrees. I was considered growing it inside (12" square pot in a large south facing window). It would make the living room smell nice!

What do people think? In or out? I'm aware it can get fairly big, but a pot might keep it manageable?

What are other peoples experiences growing it outdoors? I'm considering chancing it in a nice raised sunny spot, close to slabs and/or rocks with a thick mulch.

Or maybe even in a bubblewrap insulated large pot. Could either work?

My lemon verbena didn't survive the winter outside in a pot, but I'm further north than Coomber and you are in the middle of us, so maybe it will work for you in a sheltered spot

I grow tarragon in a terracotta pot and put it in the greenhouse to bring it through the winter. It dies back but comes again in spring. It's my favourite herb.
