Aloysia virgata, known as sweet almond verbena and sweet almond bush, is a perennial plant in the family Verbenaceae native to Argentina.

It grows from Central Argentina up to Brazil and Peru, with multiple instances in Yucatán, Southeastern United States, and Texas.

[2] The large, shrubby bush has many small white flowers and grows up to around 8 to 15 feet tall, and about 8 feet wide.

Aloysia virgata is popular for its sweet almond fragrance and for the fact that it attracts both butterflies and hummingbirds.

[5][6] The plant can be propagated through vegetative reproduction and possibly by layering.
