Lemon Verbena Botanical Infusions Plants - Freshman

The Lemon Verbena plant is very special in that its leaves make a refreshing sherbert like lemon flavoured tea! The lemon verbena plant’s leaves can be dried and used later or for the best taste use them fresh. During the hot summer months, iced lemon verbena tea will most definitely be a refreshing drink at BBQ’S and beach days. 

The sweet taste of lemon verbena can also be used in desserts and cakes in lieu of lemon zest. It isn’t just the wonderful taste of the lemon verbena but aesthetically it will be a delight in your garden. Typically large in stature, this plant is best planted close to outdoor living areas. Every time the leaves are touched they release their beautifully refreshing fragrance so be sure to plant alongside pathways and close to your patio. This perennial is a native to picturesque tropical climates. PLanting into containers may help to extend its scent and flavour in colder climates. 

Caring for your Lemon Verbena plant

Lemon Verbena leaves can be harvested as needed throughout their growing season. New growth will occur each time you cut a stem. Frequent cutting is necessary for continuous growth, to make a large picking cut the plants back by roughly half. When using the lemon verbena leaves crumble them just before using in order to release their flavours. Try freezing the leaves to use later. 

Growing Information

Grow plants on in a frost-free environment and plant out when all risk of frost has passed in a sunny, sheltered position.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.
