Salt substitute? Eisenkraut is verbena, isn't it?

What other names is Verbena known by?
Blue Vervain, Common Verbena, Common Vervain, Eisenkraut, Enchanter's Plant, European Vervain, Herb of Grace, Herb of the Cross, Herba Verbenae, Holywort, Juno's Tears, Pigeon's Grass, Pigeonweed, Simpler's Joy, Turkey Grass, Verbenae herba, Verbena officinalis, Vervain, Yerba de Santa Ana.

Most likely to see it in herbal tea. I've only seen lemon verbena sold as a dried herb - efoodies.com sell it in 500g bags at £105 a kilo.

Good news is it is easy to grow - check google for seeds - lots of the big seed companies sell it.
