Commonly Asked Questions
Is lemon verbena an annual or perennial?

Is lemon verbena hardy in the UK?

Does lemon verbena spread?

Is lemon verbena safe to drink as a tea?
As well as its refreshing taste, Lemon Verbena tea is prized for its many health benefits. It's widely drunk as a digestive aid, making it the perfect cup for after dinner. The tea's relaxant qualities mean that it can be drunk to soothe stomach cramps and period pain.
Can lemon verbena be grown in pots?
Growing lemon verbena in a container is ideal for cultivating the plant all year in colder regions. Container-grown lemon verbena also stays a more manageable size than plants grown in the ground. Choose a container of any material, but double the size of the plant's root ball.
