Lemon Verbena
Aloysia citrodora — a highly fragrant herb with a strong, clean lemon scent that brightens teas, desserts, syrups and natural fragrances. It does best in full sun with shelter from cold; prune regularly to shape and promote healthy growth. Works beautifully alongside other citrus‑scented herbs in the garden. The powerfully scented leaves are ideal for infusing teas and sweet dishes. Brought to Europe in the seventeen hundreds, lemon verbena quickly became prized for its use in perfumes and aromatic teas.
Key Uses: Teas, desserts, syrups and natural fragrance.
Growing conditions: Full sun, shelter from cold, prune to shape.
Companion notes: Great with other citrus scented herbs.
