Aloysia citrodora

If you dabble in the fragrance arts or cooking or tea making, then lemon verbena might be perfect for you! It has the aroma of fresh squeezed lemonade. Who doesn't love that? Even though lemon verbena is a somewhat common herb, it can be curiously hard to find fresh. So Grow. Your. Own...and get creative!

Lemon verbena loves the sunshine and warmth of summer. At 40 degrees (F) it will start to drop its leaves. Overwintering indoors is ideal for most. Bushiness is aided by pinching the tips.
