Description
Aloysia citrodora, commonly known as Allouiza or Lemon Verbena, is a highly aromatic herb valued for its intense lemon fragrance and medicinal properties. Its elongated, bright green leaves release a strong citrus scent when touched, making it popular for herbal teas, infusions, and natural remedies. Well adapted to Cyprus’ climate, it thrives in warm, sunny conditions and tolerates dry periods once established, although it benefits from regular watering during hot seasons. It prefers well-drained soil and responds well to pruning, which encourages fresh, vigorous growth. Ideal for herb gardens, borders, and containers.
