Using and Growing Lemon Eucalyptus

Lemon eucalyptus (Eucalyptus citriodora) has a scent similar to that of lemon verbena, lemon balm and even lemon thyme, but the fragrance is stronger and more pungent. It isn't a typical herb, though. It's really a tree in the eucalyptus family that can grow large - very large (60 feet and sometimes a lot taller). It's only hardy outdoors year round in zones 9 and higher.
