Lemon Balm is an aromatic culinary herb known for its lemon-scented leaves for teas and cooking. Lemon Balm flowers in summer in shades of yellow, and performs best in full sun to part shade with low watering once established. This herb matures to roughly 1.5-2 feet tall and 1.5-2 feet wide. It is ideal for herb gardens, raised beds, and containers near the kitchen door, offering fresh flavour within reach of the kitchen. Hardy to zones 4-9 and straightforward to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. It tolerates dry spells well once its roots are down.
