Lemon Verbena

Aloysia citrodora

Plant portrait: An elegant shrub-like herb with narrow leaves and an astonishingly clear lemon scent.

Garden rhythm: Warm-season perennial often damaged by North Texas freezes; sun to part sun, good drainage, moderate water.

Garden companions: Its small flowers can receive bees and butterflies.

Worth noticing: The fragrance lingers beautifully in dried leaves. Winter survival depends on protection and microclimate.
