Lemon Balm – West Coast Seeds

Melissa officinalis

• Use in a bouquet to lemon scent a room
• Brew an invigorating tea
• Self-sowing and bees love it
• Deer resistant
• Plants grow vigorously

Plant lemon balm seeds and rub the light green leaves for a sudden hit of lemon scent. Use in bouquets to lemon scent a room or brew an invigorating medicinal tea. Lemon Balm seeds produce a herbaceous perennial self-sows and bees love it. Plants grow vigorously so keep self-sown seedlings thinned out. The plants are deer resistant, so a useful filler plant for coastal areas. Chop back the plants by two-thirds once the flowers have faded to prevent self-sowing and encourage new leaves’ growth. This plant belongs in every organic herb garden and has been cultivated for centuries as a medicinal plant.
