Lemon Balm
Latin Name: Melissa Officinalis
Lemon Balm is a vibrant, fragrant herb with soft, crinkled leaves and a refreshing lemon-citrus flavor. Perfect for teas, beverages, and a variety of recipes, it can be enjoyed fresh or dried and is even prized as a natural breath freshener. Traditionally used to promote relaxation, support digestion, and soothe minor skin irritations, this versatile herb is as beneficial as it is beautiful. Lemon Balm attracts bees and other pollinators, spreads into a lush, low-maintenance ground cover, and its citrusy aroma can help repel mosquitoes. Keep soil evenly moist until established, then enjoy its drought tolerance. Harvest in the morning by cutting stems a few inches above the ground to encourage fresh, healthy growth.
