This is a great herb for growing in window boxes. It does well indoors in a sunny window.

Chefs value it as a companion to citrus lemon because its flavor holds up in cooking. Great for fruit salads, jam, jelly, and candy.

Makes a refreshing tea in combination with mint or alone. Wonderful as a garnish for iced tea.

Use liberally when on a low salt diet. Also try combining lemon verbena with dried celery and lovage leaves as a mild seasoning mixture.
