Just A Few Mother's Day Gift Ideas
An annual herb here in Chattanooga, (zones 8-11 as perennial) for teas, dishes, and other beverages. Try steeping leaves in hot water, and then enjoy the resulting tea hot or cold. You can also mince the leaves and use them to flavor fish and vegetable dishes. Alot of our customers also use it as somewhat of a mosquito repellent along with lemon grass, lavender, rosemary, or citronella.
Can get leggy so lemon verbena benefits from regular pruning to keep it from getting leggy. Best to grow in full sun, water at 25% dry and use soil that is rich and has good drainage. Best grown as an annual in zone 7.
Lemon verbena prefers full sun and free-draining soil that has been amended with compost. Plant it near the edge of the bed where you'll be apt to brush by the foliage, causing the leaves to release some of their lemony scent.
Generally considered safe for pets.
