Herb Seeds – Lemon Balm – Melissa Officinalis is a bushy herb that resembles mint with leaves having an invigorating lemon flavour and scent when crushed.
The aromatic foliage can be used to make a refreshing lemon balm, used to make tea or added to soups and oils for a tangy lemon flavour.
Lemon balm flowers are particularly attractive to bees giving rise to its other name, bee balm.
Similarly to mint, this hardy perennial herb has a vigorous habit and is best restricted by growing in a container and prefers full sun.
