I was given a lemon verbena plant a couple of years ago and planted it in a large pot.  Since then I have watered every day except during the winter when it only gets what the skies give and during the summer given a once weekly feed of fertilizer and it has grown and thrived although it tends to be a bit straggly.  It is not in a particularly wind-free spot either.

Thanks Tony
That's reassuring.

I havent given it much water as I have read that the roots prefer a very dry soil. But since that isnt working, I'm going to try the watering.
