Large car going back into advanced plant for restorative action? (8)

I believe the answer is:

camomile

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plant for restorative action?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'large car going back into advanced' is the wordplay.
'large car' becomes 'limo' (I've seen this before).
'going back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'advanced' becomes 'came' (I've seen this in another clue).
'limo' written backwards gives 'omil'.
'omil' inserted into 'came' is 'CAMOMILE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camomile that I've seen before include "Ma, Clio and me have medicinal tea" , "Herb used for tea" , "Plant for tea or lawn" , "Herb for tea (or lawn?)" , "Aromatic plant, flavouring tea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
