Here in the high desert, we get freezing temps and I have to move some of the more frost tender cacti & succulents indoors in the winter. I've got
chamomile that has reseeded itself many times over in the garden bed. It seems to be very hardy, blooms Feb-May then goes away when the heat moves
in. Dried, it smells so much better than anything you can buy, but it's kinda of a pain to harvest. Chamomile is kinda of a weed, too. My bay, sage,
rosemary, and chives are evergreen, as is the oregano and parsley if we don't get snow.
