I admit that some catalog authors can stretch beyond imagination in describing their beloveds, however this is not the case when I say, this is the most euphoric lemon scent of all our herbs. It truly smells like lemon meringue pie. This smaller leaf variety, with pink blossoms, can be baked on the bottom of cakes (first grease pans and dust with flour, lay out leaves, bake, then invert pan after it's cooled), candied to decorate desserts, or added to teas. Different scent than "Mabel Grey". Buy both of them.
