Lemon Verbena

 Lemon verbena leaves have the most fantastic lemon smell and make a wonderful tea:

My two plants are taking an age to get going and don't think they will grow much past 2’ rather than the 11' predicted!

However, as and when I can get enough leaves to harvest and dry, I will do so, ready for winter.

    I'm wishing I had a lemon scented plant now. I had lemon balm in my garden 15 years ago

    Our eldest son does lemon thyme and loves it. I may have to try both the lemon thyme and the lemon verbena next year.

    God bless.

    I've never been able to keep a Lemon Verbena plant going for very long - gorgeous scent

      A bit temperamental for the UK methinks. I will dig it up and overwinter it indoors.
