Lemon verbena - Aloysia citrodora (12 cm pot)
Lemon verbena, also known as sweet lime, is a deciduous perennial shrub prized for its intense lemon scent. The leaves are lance-shaped, pale green, and give off a distinctive, very pleasant citrus fragrance. Just run your hand over the leaves and the scent stays on your skin. It flowers in summer, producing small white or lavender blooms that make any garden or terrace a delight. It’s widely used in infusions, cooking, and aromatherapy thanks to its relaxing and digestive properties.

CUIDADOS
Light: Needs direct sun and should be grown in full sun. It also tolerates partial shade (direct sun only part of the day—morning or afternoon).
Temperature: Sensitive to cold. It drops its leaves at 0°C, but the branches can withstand down to -10°C, and the leaves grow back when temperatures warm up (spring).
Watering: Regular (especially if in a pot/planter), keeping the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilising: Apply organic fertiliser in spring to encourage growth.
Pruning: Regular pruning after flowering encourages new growth and keeps the plant looking neat and compact.
Life cycle: Perennial.
Soil: Light, well-draining, slightly acidic substrate.
Pet Friendly: There are no indications of toxicity to pets.
Suggestion/Recipe: To make an infusion that’s not only delicious but also has antioxidant properties and a relaxing effect, simply pick a few leaves from your plant, rinse them well under running water, pour freshly boiled water over the leaves (don’t boil the fresh leaves with the water), let it steep for 5 minutes, and drink. Enjoy this wonderful hot drink, or pop it in the fridge and drink it cold. You’ll love it!
If you mix it with lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), you’ll like it too.
