Lemon Verbena is a deciduous perennial flowering shrub growing up to 15 feet tall. Native to South America, it has been cultivated in North America and Europe since the late 1700s.

Lemon Verbena has been called “the Queen of Lemon-scented Herbs”! It is used in cooking, baking, and herbal tea blends to add a lemon flavor. Herbalists have considered it a mild sedative, mood enhancer, febrifuge, and digestive aid, with a slight touch of bitterness to stimulate the liver. Its fresh fragrance has made it a popular choice for sachets and dream pillows. While it is known as an antispasmodic herb, midwives have also given it as a strong tea to promote labor contractions.
