Blooming lemon verbena in the herb bed. I get a mild bubble gum thought when smelling this lemony wonder. Pleasant plant for the herb garden.

It is. I am loving it. Our local Plant Kingdom has them every year, but I'm going to overwinter it for next year.

Lucky, maybe you can take cuttings.

I'm bringing in the whole pot and keeping it in the cool by a window, with the fuschias. Should get through fine like that. Only hazard is bug infestation. They can find an herb during winter in the dark.

I do have to treat it as an annual Tg, since I have not been successful bringing it through winter. I think it is 3-5ft height. Should probably not take my word for it....lol. I have sweet melissa this year, now I'm missing the verbena.
