(formerly Lippia citrodora) Sometimes called lemon verbena, the leaves of this plant are intensely lemon-scented. It's a good one to plant where you can brush your hands over it! The leaves can be used to make a tisane or place one in the bottom of a cake tin to flavour a sponge. Goes to -5 in our garden if not cut back until danger of frost is over. Can be used in linen cupboards, placed between sheets to give a beautiful scent. Sprays of small white flowers in late summer but the strongly scented leaves are the real attraction. Nobody can pass it without stroking it.2l.pot
