Aloysia triphylla |

['Aloysia' after Maria Louisa, Queen of Spain]
A small, insignificant little deciduous shrub with tiny racemes of lilac tinged white flowers in early summer. However it's the lemon scented leaves that this plant is grown for - even the dropped autumn leaves retain their delightful scent throughout the winter (add them to pot-pourri bowls). Frost tender so best grown in a pot and moved under cover during the colder months.
· Full sun · Well drained soils · Up to 45cm growth per year · Trim hard back in the autumn · Place in a frost-free site during the winter
Pot size: 3 litre
Mature height: 1m (3ft) |
