Description
(Melissa officinalis) Heirloom Lemon Balm has a strong lemon scent with long narrow green leaves that look almost like blades of grass. Lemon Balm has medicinal benefits for colds, flu, depression, headache, and indigestion. Should be mulched over winter to avoid freeze out in harsh climates.

This is a must-have in my garden. It’s calming–my husband can tell if I’ve skipped it for a day! It’s delicious in lemon quick breads & as a sauce (boil with onion, tomato, salt & a generous amount of olive oil) that’s good on pasta, eggs, lentils (etc.). Keep it trimmed if you don’t want it self-seeding all over the garden. It grows *very* easily from seed!
