Lemon Verbena
In my old garden I had a lemon verbena that grew to a reasonable sized shrub and smelled heavenly. I'd love to have one in my new garden, but have never seen plants on sale anywhere. (My original came from a stall at a fete, in a recycled yoghurt pot!). Any suggestions as to where I could find one?

They often turn up in the herb section at our local GC.

if this search copy works there are a lot of suppliers there, otherwise google lemon verbena suppliers

Thanks - yes there seem to be a few online suppliers, tho I usually prefer to see the plant I'm buying before I buy it!
Is your local GC an independent or one of the big chains?
Sarah Raven's selling Lemon Verbena.
I love it too but not hardy enough in my part of the world!
Lucky Verdun, they take so long to start into growth here that it's too late before they get round to flowering.

I'm in Kent and my original plant had survived for a number of years, but I never managed to get cuttings to take! Definitely one to grow for the scented foliage rather than the flowers - I used to have it next to the garden bench where I could sit and relax and crush a few leaves from time to time to release the scent .... aaaahhhh roll on summer!!
