Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis) is a member of the mint family with a lovely mild lemony scent. This perennial plant grows to 3' tall with small white or yellow flowers.

This herb is super easy to grow and has many benefits. Lemon Balm is a popular herb used for its home remedy and medicinal benefits, as it makes a delicious and calming herbal tea. Traditionally it is often used for indigestion, insomnia, and as a de-stressor.

Start indoors under strong lights 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting. Barely cover seeds as they need light to germinate. Pick leaves to dry before flowers bloom for culinary use. Pinch back flowers to extend harvest. Makes a delightful and aromatic houseplant if given sufficient light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lemon balm doesn't spread through rhizomes like other mint plants. However, the root clumps continue to grow and need to be divided every few years.

Lemon balm can be grown indoors if it is given enough light. It needs at least 6 hours of light and may need additional grow lights if there isn't enough natural light.
Grow lemon balm in a large enough container with potting soil that drains well.

Yes, lemon balm flowers are edible. They can be used along with the leaves to make teas, salads, or used as a garnish or decoration. The small white tubular blooms have a lemony and slightly minty flavor much like the leaves.

As lemon balm flowers dry their color turns brown. Remove dried flowers and crush them to reveal the tiny black seeds. Allow the seeds to fully dry, then store in a cool, dark location to plant again another season.
