Growing Tips

Plant in a warm, full sun position with well-drained soil. Lemon verbena thrives in heat and benefits from regular harvesting to encourage bushier growth.

Water consistently during establishment, then reduce once the plant is established. Prune in early spring to maintain shape and promote fresh new growth.

Protect from heavy frost in colder areas.
