A plant that smells like lemon?
Hi there,
I have a plant that leaves smell like lemon. Not sure what it's called. Actually thats a secondary question. What I would actually like to know is can you take cuttings from this plant? I have chopped off a branch just below a node and scraped at it, in the hope that it will root. Chars. -- "You are a seeker.

Rounded, 'cushiony' leaves? Then it is lemon balm, and is best propagated by division. But my guess is the former. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

But my guess is the former. My guess is the latter, as it's much more common (grows as a weed in my garden). But I hope it's the former, as I think it's a wonderful, wonderful plant, and makes the best herbal tea there is. Lazarus -- Remover the rock from the email address |

writes Hi there, I have a plant that leaves smell like lemon. Not sure what it's called. Actually thats a secondary question. Fairly primary, since it will affect how you take cuttings! ;-) I can think of lemon balm (a bit like mint), lemon verbena ( a twiggy shrub) and lemon scented geranium (which will root if you just break bits off and stick them into a pot of soil. What I would actually like to know is can you take cuttings from this plant?
