Verbena - alive in front garden, dead in back garden...

Does anyone know if verbena is killed off by frost/snow? The ones in the front are back as they always are, the ones in the back, which were in pots, aren't. Could the winter have done 'em in?
Thanks

Bonariensis.

Had lemon verbena in pot too - it also seems to have gone to the great compost heap in the sky.

Another (related) question - can you take cuttings from bonariensis or is only seeds? TIA.

Oh that's interesting. OK, will try to take some cuttings. Do you know when your mum took the cuttings? And also interesting Worzel that some of yours lived.

I won't put any more in pots, but will bung any ones in borders. Thanks again.

Yes, tried cutting them back hard, but hasn't worked. And yes, will get my act together re fleece etc next winter, if it's as harsh as last two.
