Aloysia citrodora
Elegant shrub with highly aromatic leaves with lemon aroma. Ideal for tea and cooking, with small white flowers.
Lemon verbena requires full sun exposure, with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and moderate watering, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings. Plant it in a well-draining substrate to prevent waterlogging, as it tolerates moderate drought but not excess moisture. It is hardy down to -10 °C, but in areas with intense frost it is advisable to protect the roots with mulch or move the plant indoors during the coldest spells. In spring, a light pruning will encourage more compact growth and abundant aromatic foliage.
