Lemon Verbena

Latin Name: Aloysia Citrodora

Lemon Verbena is a wonderfully fragrant herb prized for its bright citrus aroma and refreshing lemon flavor without the tartness of lemon. Its glossy, lance-shaped leaves are perfect for teas, culinary creations, and essential oils, retaining their fragrance even when dried. Tiny white to pale purple flowers bloom in late summer, attracting bees and other pollinators. Traditionally valued for supporting digestion, easing discomfort, and promoting relaxation, this easy-to-grow herb thrives in moist, well-draining soil. Regular harvesting and light pruning encourage fresh, bushy growth. Lemon Verbena pairs well with basil and oregano, enhances the growth of beans and tomatoes, and grows beautifully alongside marigolds and zinnias to attract pollinators and help deter pests.
