Description
Lemon balm is a fragrant perennial herb with soft green leaves and a clean lemon scent that lifts from the plant as soon as it is touched. Long grown in monastery and cottage gardens, it has been used traditionally for teas, syrups, and household herb blends.
Plants are hardy, generous, and easy to grow, spreading politely at first and more freely when happy. Tuck it where you can brush past the leaves, harvest often to keep growth tender, and enjoy its bright citrus note fresh, dried, or steeped.
