| Botanical Name | Aloysia citrodora |
| Description | 'Lemon' Verbena is a must-have for the Houston herb garden, offering the strongest lemon fragrance of any herb. While it loves the Texas summer heat and high humidity, it is very sensitive to drainage. It will quickly decline in heavy, saturated clay soils; for success in our area, plant in raised beds or large containers with premium, well-draining potting mix. In the Houston metro area, it may lose its leaves during a hard freeze but often returns from the roots in spring. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for best oil production) |
| Height x Width | 3-6 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; do not allow to sit in standing water. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Protect from hard freezes) |
| Fertilization | Apply an organic balanced fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
