Today is a day I am reminded why commercial perfumes are made with the scent of Lemon Verbena. It's heavenly! My little greenhouse is filled with Lemon Verbena plants in 4" pots, growing out for at least a month to obtain sturdy root systems. They smell delicious, too.
But I trimmed them today, so that they would grow out full and bushy now. And I relished the scent of natural Lemon Verbena perfume in my kitchen as I removed leaves from the stems I'd pruned off the plants. Now those leaves are drying to make tea, and for use in baking.
