Lemon Verbena in the Sun & Shade

Lemon Verbena in the Field in North Texas

What a difference a few hours of sun has made in our Lemon Verbena in the field, here in North Texas... The crop is well on it's way today, having survived harsh winds and monsoon rains for about six weeks since transplanting in early April.

By contrast, here's another photo. It shows 2000 Lemon Verbena starter plants in a tarp/shade house in Germany, waiting for heavy rains to pass. Gabriele Stoll already has 1000 plants in the field, and she's tripling her production this year.

  1. I wonder, does it smell lovely when the gentle wind blows? That is alot of Lemon Verbena, I have just one small plant. I keep it inside. I have some leaves in sugar right now.
