Melissa, Lemon Balm Organic Heirloom

Description

Delicate, light green foliage with a lemon scent. Bushy plants make an attractive accent or perennial border. Makes a tasty tea when combined with mint. Easy to grow, not fussy about soil or sun. Grows in dry soils and partial sun.

Plant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Plant in early fall in mild climates. To maintain a tidy appearance, cut back foliage by one-third in summer when flowers appear. Leaves may be used at any time. Cut back by two-thirds after flowering. Dry fully grown branches in the shade for later use.
