Lemon Verbena.
Prized for its intensely lemony scent—bright, clean, and unmistakable. Slender, lance-shaped green leaves release their citrus perfume at the slightest touch, making this plant a favourite for herb gardens, containers, and patios.
Lemon verbena is widely used fresh or dried for teas, syrups, desserts, and cocktails, and is equally valued for potpourri and aromatherapy. In cooler climates it thrives as a summer container plant and can be overwintered indoors in a bright location.
