Lemon Verbena
The lemon verbena has the most aromatic, supercharged zingy lemon scent of all herbs. Close your eyes, inhale and you’re instantly transported to a sun-drenched lemon grove in the Mediterranean, feeling uplifted, refreshed, and awake!
The leaves are normally used as an infusion to flavor foods. Add a few fresh leaves to boiled water to make a revitalizing herbal tea; as a scented garnish in cocktails, cold drinks, and desserts; infused in creams and butter to flavor ice cream, biscuits, and cakes; or as an alternative to a lemon zest rub to give a lemon zing to meat dishes. Lemon verbena is also used in potpourri, linen sachets and the essential oil is a popular ingredient in body lotions and perfumes. This is a herb with almost limitless possibilities.
As a deciduous shrub, leaves are only available from late spring to early autumn making them even more valuable. Fortunately, lemon verbena dries extremely well and retains its lemon flavor and scent to give you that warm Mediterranean vibe throughout winter. While this herb is edible by humans, it is toxic to horses, dogs, and cats.
Grows in full to part sun. 3-4’ high
Plants are grown in a 3 1/2" pot
