Why Grow Lemon Verbena in NZ?

Add freshly picked leaves to teas, desserts, and salads, or dry them for potpourri and homemade sachets. In the garden, lemon verbena thrives in sunny spots with well-drained soil, rewarding you with lush growth and fragrant foliage throughout the growing season.

Growing Tips for Lemon Verbena

To get the best from your lemon verbena, choose a sunny, sheltered position and enrich your soil with plenty of compost. Lemon verbena prefers to stay on the dry side, so plant in a spot where drainage is excellent. It tolerates light frost but thrives with a bit of winter protection in colder areas. Prune back after flowering to encourage bushy growth and a fresh flush of aromatic leaves.

Alongside lemon verbena, why not explore other fragrant and citrus-themed plants for your garden? Compliment your herb bed or border with the colourful Kniphofia 'Lemon Fizz' for a striking pop of yellow, or consider Coprosma 'Lemon and Lime' for contrasting year-round foliage.

Complement Your Garden with Other Verbena and Lemon Varieties

Those with a passion for verbenas may be interested in the tall, elegant Verbena bonariensis (Tall Verbena), an excellent companion for lemon verbena in mixed borders. If you love the lemony theme, a fruiting Lemon Meyer and Yen Ben (Double Grafted Lemon) tree brings a continual harvest of citrus to your garden.
