Lemon Verbena 'Limoentje'
- Product number: 831325.1
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Lippia citriodora, or also Aloysia triphylla
This herb absolutely gives the most fresh and bright lemon experience with a recognizable hint of lime! Delicious to bruise a few leaves into soda! Or make 'Tisane de Verveine' from it, a delicious herbal tea. Overwintering as a container plant is very possible; on my roof terrace, the plant survives light frost without protection. The plant does not produce seeds, so we can only supply plants.
