But, come spring, I put it outside and the leaves started to appear. The plant is awfully scaggly looking now and I wonder if I should prune it (severly?) before taking it in again for the winter. Any suggestions? Thanks! <em>Hi Judy, Thanks for visiting my blog! :) You could prune your lemon verbena a little bit now before you bring it in but I would wait until early Spring when you place it back outside for the more severe pruning. I always prune mine in the Spring when the new growth starts to bud out. Lemon verbena can get rather scraggly and frequent pinching back helps out alot during the growing season. Hope that was of some help to you! -Cynthia</em> I brought my lemon verbena plant in last winter and was not sure it would survive.
