Aloysia triphylla.Tender deciduous perennial dating from the 17th Century. The wonderfully sweet scent of the leaves is stronger than lemons and is the best of the "lemony" herbs. Not hardy in our climate, so provides some winter protection from frosts. Best in full sun. Height: to 60cm. Priced for: 1 litre pot
Use: The leaves exude a wonderful zesty scent adding flavour to most dishes and teas, or used as a potpourri ingredient as it retains its scent for years.
