| Botanical Name | Aloysia virgata |
| Description | Sweet Almond Verbena is a fast-growing woody shrub that is highly prized in the Houston metro area for its incredible fragrance. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant and thrives in the humidity of Southeast Texas. While it is adaptable to many soil types, including clay-loam, it requires moderate to good drainage to prevent root issues during the rainy season. It has an upright, slightly weeping habit and can be trained into a small multi-trunk tree, making it a versatile focal point for any sunny landscape. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for maximum bloom production and fragrance) |
| Height x Width | 10-15 ft. Tall x 6-10 ft. Wide |
| Water | Medium; drought tolerant once established, but blooms most prolifically with regular watering. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Can be pruned hard in late winter to maintain size or shaped into a small tree. Tip prune during summer to encourage more blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
