Fill your garden with refreshing citrus fragrance by growing Lemon Verbena, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its intensely lemon-scented foliage, graceful upright habit, and exceptional culinary versatility. Aloysia citrodora, commonly known as Lemon Verbena, is a tender perennial herb treasured for its aromatic leaves that release a sweet lemon fragrance when touched. It is a favorite for herb gardens, tea gardens, patio containers, and fragrant landscapes. The flavorful leaves are perfect for herbal teas, lemonades, infused water, desserts, fruit dishes, syrups, baked goods, and herbal blends. Its nectar-rich flowers also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Lemon Verbena thrives in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Its upright branching habit produces abundant fragrant foliage throughout the growing season, making it an excellent choice for frequent harvesting. During late summer, mature plants may produce delicate clusters of tiny white to pale lavender flowers, adding ornamental beauty while supporting pollinators. In colder climates, it grows well in containers and can be overwintered indoors.
