Approximate Seed Count: 300Melissa 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 love how cute the packaging is for the seeds, and all of my seeds looked great! The ones I planted germinated very quickly and look amazing.
Have been very happy with all seeds purchased ( great germinatin ) and love the videos
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!

I grew this pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
I am loving this squash! It grows so long and has beautiful leaves. I grow it upward and loves it! I have harvested at least 3-4 on one plant already. The remainder of the blooms are male, and I am not sure if I will have any more. :( I have, however, planted more in the mean time hoping I will harvest as many as this one. I will definately grow more!. Thank you!
All is well and great service...
So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
