Supplied as a pot-grown plant grown in a 7 cm pot.
Available from APPROXIMATELY early JuneLemon Verbena is a perennial deciduous aromatic shrub that can reach a height of between 3-10 feet (1-3 m), with a spread of up to 10 feet (3m) given the right conditions, though in the UK it tends to reach a height of 3-6 feet (1-2 m).
Originating in Chile, Lemon Verbena was brought to Europe by the Spanish in the 18th Century, because of its amazing perfume. Jekka McVicar calls it the 'Rolls Royce' of lemon-scented plants. It was a popular addition to Victorian garden rooms. Leaves are pale green, and strongly lemon-scented. The tiny white flowers have a lilac tinge.
