Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora) is a fragrant herb native to South America, known for its intense lemon-scented leaves. This deciduous shrub has slender, lance-shaped leaves that are often used to flavour teas, desserts, and savoury dishes. Growing well in warm, sunny climates, it can reach up to 2 metres in height. Lemon Verbena is also popular in potpourris and essential oils, adding a fresh, citrusy aroma to gardens and homes.
