Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a fragrant, fast-growing perennial herb known for its bright green leaves and refreshing lemon scent. Ideal for teas, desserts, salads, and flavoring beverages, its mild citrus flavor adds a fresh, uplifting touch to many culinary creations.
Lemon Balm thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, forming bushy, spreading plants that are easy to harvest. In summer, it produces small, delicate white or pale yellow flowers that attract pollinators and brighten any garden space.
Low-maintenance and vigorous, Lemon Balm is perfect for gardeners seeking a versatile herb that’s as fragrant and decorative as it is flavorful.
