Advice Please

I planted up a large planter with 'sensory' plants

They included - Lavender, Rosemary, Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Sage
also Curry Plant.

My question is - are these plants hardy. Do I just cut them back or will I have to replace them ?

Thanks

Not sure about the Curry plant but you should be able to trim the others back after they've flowered all ready for next years new growth  :)

I've always treated my Curry Plant the same as Rosemary, I haven't killed it yet. ;)

Edit: Minor edit too correct spelling. :(

they are all hardy though the curry plant can succumb, mind survived last winter just fine and has flourished this year.

Thanks everyone.   :)

Will go have a look at them and cut them back, they have been left to themselves over the summer as they are in a school garden and have got a bit out of control.
