Melissa officinalis. Lemon balm is an heirloom herb that grows much like mint, except far less invasive. It has a citrusy smell with a touch of mint and is amazing in teas. Used to help soothe symptoms of anxiety, depression, and the common cold, this herb is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins as well as essential oils that should find their place in anyone’s tea garden. Home-grown tea is far better than anything from the store since it is picked at peak freshness.
I started these indoors and they germinated well, can’t wait until spring/ summer
I know its not supposed to be "as invasive as mint" but I had one plant that almost became a shrub in a raised bed. Not too long after runners made their way into the yard, and we had Lemon Balm growing in the grass. Luckily we could keep it in check with the lawnmower. I'd put this one in a planter on the patio where it's fully contained. Nature finds a way.
I planted several of these in my garden beds. They have done wonderfully. Here in 6a, the lemon balm comes back every year bigger and more beautiful. I love it as a light summer tea. My kids just love breaking off leaves and crushing them for a wonderful scent. Lemon balm seems to be pretty well mannered for a mint!
Very prolific perennial. I winter sowed these.
This is great for teas. Will keep growing

These were cut on April 22nd and planted April 23, 2025. They came up on May 4th. I'm in central SD, zone 4b. Next year, I'll get more!
Hard to leave a review just planted them.. but over all I was pleased when they arrived ❤️
I wasn't sure it would survive when I planted it, but it is growing. Very happy with my purchase
I immediately set this plant outside to begin hardening off. After about 2 weeks, I planted it in it's dedicated grow bag until I get a more permanent planter, and I must say it is living life. It has grown so much since I received it. I believe I'm going to remove the blossoms this year to continue promoting healthy growth.
Love this. I collect stickers on my garden notebook for fun and inspiration and this spoke to me.
