Grow Soothing, aromatic Lemon Balm (Melissa Odorata) right on the windowsill! Lemon balm's most popular use is in soothing herbal teas, where its lemon-scented volatile oils are released. The dried leaves are also a perfect ingredient for potpurri and dream pillows.
Perennial in zones 4-9, lemon balm has a four-angled stem that supports 1-3 inch toothed, ovate leaves. Insignificant pale yellow flowers are produced in summer. At maturity, it reaches 12-32 inches tall and 12-18 inches wide.
Grow in moist soil from herb seed in either full sun or part shade, and harvest leaves as flowering begins in summer. Make 1/2" deep furrows for seeding and lightly cover seed lemon balm herb seeds with 1/8" with loose soil. You may also start seed indoors 6 weeks prior to your last frost. Thin plants to 6" apart when they are 4" tall.
