Family: Verbenaceae

Lemon Beebrush is a shrub that smells strongly of lemon, as the common name suggests. A low maintenance plant, water well until established. Virtually pest-free, adding to the ease of growing. Propagate vegetatively using softwood cuttings — trim tips to promote bushy growth. Showy white flowers bloom in summer. Use the leaves in cooking, as tea, or for potpourri inside the home. The dried leaves can retain their sent for years.
