Descriptions: Wow! Unbelievably fragrant leaves smell just like sweet lemons. Lemon Verbena is a legendary herb in the kitchen, so easy to use to flavour everything from mains to desserts to drinks. Leaves can be used fresh or dried. 

Lemon Verbena is a shrubby plant that in its native climate grows into a small tree. That said, it is easy to maintain in containers ranging from six inches and up. The more you pinch the stems, the much fuller it grows (in fact, every time you cut a stem it grows three new ones!). Lemon Verbena is a warm climate plant but does have a natural winter dormancy cycle; as we get into November it is common for this herb to drop most leaves only to burst back into growth a month or two later (do water a little during dormancy). If you prefer to keep Lemon Verbena evergreen, winter the plants under grow lights.
