They are very cheap on that site aren't they? Oh no....too tempting to resist... I I expect they will only be littlies, 2 or 4 leaves but they should grow on quite quickly. Now do I need the chocolate one too....   ;D |

I mean the tall woody but tender shrub, Andy. It is completely edible and easily kept confined to a reasonable size because it's so tempting to nip the leaves off every time you're near it! It's best grown in a pot as it dies down for the winter and needs to be brought indoors, unlike the Lemon Balm herb which is totally hardy and spreads like a weed unless brutally kept in its place...  PS Lemon Verbena makes a gorgeous summer tea too.... 4P or Andy if you read this can you post a pic of your lemon verbena has i have a lemony herb in a pot iv had for years and dont know what its called. It is a woody stem and dies back in winter its alway been outside though and never been overwinterd in a GH but it alway come back year after year this is the pic of the one i have  |

The plant above snowowl is a lemon balm....the verbena is a shrub with slender, long leaves and small lilac flowers. There's loads of pics on google images...here's a couple   |

Thanks Andy for the ID i will go out and look for the lemon verbena now then.
I have had this one of mine for years and i know its smells of lemon but have forgot what it is.
Its a good job its in a pot then if it is a bit of a thug.
