I over winter my Lemon Verbena in a greenhouse. It's pruned up like a tree. The first time I saw a Lemon Verbena tree was many years ago at Well Sweep Herb Farm in NJ. It was 6 feet tall and huge. I've been working on mine for 5 years but it's only about 5 feet tall and after pruning it back severely isn't very big. But has lots of new growth coming. I find if I don't prune it back hard it gets too leggy. I took cuttings off of it all winter so didn't do the pruning until spring. By the end of the summer it should be filled out again.
