that has a really strong smell and last all year? am looking for a herb to use as a natural form of air freshner if that makes sense

Rosemary, thyme and lavender will all flourish all year round.

I'm guessing that your "last all year" refers to the plant's growing habit.

Lemon balm.

You can have all mine. It's taking over.

Lavender is good for relaxing, rosemary is more uplifting and stimulating and helps focus the mind. Thyme is stimulating, good for circulation and tiredness. so you can choose for your mood

nice thank you, yes i meant will the herb last all year.

so could i get a nice stone pot and put all 4 herbs in the same pot or would you keep seperate?

[JayG]

Not quite sure which 4 you mean, but lavender and rosemary grow into quite large shrubs although you can keep them to a manageable size.

Thyme is relatively compact, lemon balm grows quite large but is herbaceous so dies back in winter (it also seeds like crazy!)

We're growing some Basil now that has smaller leaves than other types I see more commonly (I don't know the name of it) ..anyway - just passing by it gives off a fantastic aroma that beats any glade plug-in or pot pouri

I love the smell of Basil.  Brian moans when I put it in my pasta sauces, but you can't have a tomato pasta sauce without Basil!! 

[WirralWally]

Basil . . . . . . me too.
I love it; but I'm damned if I can grow it all year round.

Penne pasta, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, lots of toms, garlic and LOTS of basil.  Summer saturday tea with home grown salad and cheese. Cant beat the taste of summer

Peg his nose n tuck in !

I'm really impressed with this varieties aroma - I just can't wait for my long toms to ripen so I can get them together...yum.

Greek basil has a small leaf, and is very fragrant.
