This is really great. I decided to put a hallogen lamp on my plants each evening until morning. I have noticed a drastic change in both plants. One rosemary is budding out flowers, the next has sent out a good 1.5cm of new growth on all branches and looks quite healthy at the tops. So it means whilst the bottom part looks sad, the tops may very well survive the winter.

The cuttings I have inside show buds too! I brought the one from the balcony in too, it's gone cold all of a sudden, not fair!
