Lemon Balm's citrus fragrance is a wonderful garden treat and this plant can provide a nice foundation planting and background for more colorful plants. It should be grown in sub or shade with average, well-drained soil to a size of 2'. A versatile herb, it can be used in cooking, teas and skin cleaning. -Holland WIldflower Farm
