This delicious herb adds a zest of lemon flavour to teas, salads, fish, or desserts when used fresh or dried. If you don't cook much, grow it for the aromatic lemon-scented foliage, which makes a pretty and drought-tolerant filler between pavers - especially when those pink-purple flowers bloom and lure in bees and butterflies.
