Plant herb, so winding around us (8)
I believe the answer is:
rosebush
'plant' is the definition.
'herb so winding around us' is the wordplay.
'winding' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'herb'+'so'='herbso'
'herbso' anagrammed gives 'rosebh'.
'rosebh' enclosing 'us' is 'ROSEBUSH'.
(Other definitions for rosebush that I've seen before include "Thorny growth" , "Flower supplier" , "shrub" , "Plant" .)
