Beschreibung

Lemon verbena grows as a perennial, deciduous shrub. Its lanceolate leaves contain fresh lemon-scented essential oils. The intensity of this is considerably stronger than most other lemon-scented plants. In summer, drinks can be refined with fresh lemon verbena. But even in winter, a tea made from the dried leaves is very beneficial. A steam bath with lemon verbena leaves relaxes and invigorates at the same time.

Anbautipps

Lemon verbena is perennial, but in colder climates it must be overwintered indoors at a minimum of 10 °C. Lemon verbena loses its leaves partially or even completely during the winter. Pruning the shrub is recommended.
