Re: Lemon verbena

Those durn common names.  I think some of you are talking about different
plants.
Lemon Balm = Melissa officinalis
Lemon Verbena = Aloysia triphylla
My understanding is that Lemon Balm is a perennial, Z4, a weed, though it is
probably useful for something.  Lemon Verbena is a shrub, Z8.
