This beautiful shrub that may also feature as an ornamental plant in gardens has stimulated our interest ever since we first came across it. Its lemony scent and the exceptional resilience the plant has shown in our area have earned our preference and appreciation for this beautiful plant. Aloysia citrodora is native to South America, but has become our own in Crete, calling it in fact “gorgogianni”, or the fast healer.
