A useful and decorative herb. Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, poor, dry soil, or John Innes No2 in a pot Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to August Hardiness: frost hardy (will need winter protection) Slender, lemon-scented, bright green leaves clothe upright stems, while delicate clusters of pale lilac to white flowers offer late summer colour. In frost free areas lemon verbena is an ideal specimen for the front of a sunny border. Plant it next to paths and entrances where the refreshingly scented foliage, which is useful for herb tea and pot pourri, can be fully appreciated. Garden care: Apply a thick mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure in autumn to protect the roots. Plants cut back by frost usually regenerate from the base.
