This herb absolutely provides the freshest and clearest lemon experience, even better than lemon itself…! Delicious to bruise a few leaves in soft drinks! Or make 'Tisane de Verveine' from it, a delicious herbal tea. It overwinters well as a container plant; on my roof terrace, the plant survives light frost without protection. The plant does not produce seeds, so we can only supply plants.
