    Portuguese Laurels problem

    Just one further thought @Selwynha, if you plan to dig up one of the plants to investigate, wait for the temperature to improve to avoid any further damage.

    I believe they use it for molds when casting metal but I believe it also polishes metal quite well.

    Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

    Rosemary is a good idea. It flowers, used in cooking, grows quickly and growing cuttings is easy. Tough plant as it grows up mountains in Greece.

    What should I do with my Salvia farnacea in winter?

    Lucky you, no frosts. In England we throw them on the compost every year and buy or sow new ones in spring. In fact, I thought it was an annual!
