Lemon Balm

Fantastic plants, amazing aroma!

I grew a package of seeds in 4 separate containers. They all did well. I’m in zone 5B. The lemon smell of the leaves are amazing! It’s much stronger than other bee balm type plants I grow. I don’t get any flowers this year (my first year), but the plants grew strong and healthy. Maybe next year for flowers. I did start them from seed, so I was very impressed how well the plants grew.

Grows Well in Shade

Knowing Lemon Balm is like mint, I knew I had to put it in a pot. I had one spot to put the pot and it is in the shade. It has been through the weather gambit, hot, muggy, torrential rains (in Texas) and its one of my best growing herbs. The scent is heavenly! I have some in my dehydrator right now for tea. I almost can't wait for winter!

Good germination

I sometimes have trouble getting herbs to germinate, but I had great success with this lemon balm. The plants were easy to transplant and are growing well in the garden.
