Native to Asia, this plant is cherished for its culinary, medicinal, and ornamental applications. It features bright green, serrated leaves with a lemony fragrance and produces small, purple to blue flowers in late summer.
Plant Characteristics
This herbaceous plant typically grows to a height of 30 to 90 cm. The bright green leaves are serrated and emit a scent reminiscent of lemon verbena and lemongrass. In late summer, it blooms with small, bilabiate flowers that range in color from purple to blue. The plant thrives in warm conditions and is often cultivated for its flavorful leaves and ornamental appeal.
