Lemon balm has been used to ease headache, treat insect bites, and can be made into potent tinctures. It is also a common ingredient in many lotions, soaps, and (obviously) balms. This versatile herb is essential in the culinary or healing garden and doubles as an excellent pollinator adored by bees. It is a wonderful companion plant for brassicas.\u003cbr\u003eAlso known as \"mint balm\". Its leaves have a delicious, bright, lemony flavor. Lemon balm is a wonderful herb to dry and drink in teas- useful in tea blends or delicious on its own. It's also great used fresh in spritzers and cocktails. It can be used to infuse vinegar, oils, and liqueurs for cooking, or keep it simple with a cold brew in a pitcher of water with a slice of lemon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSEED COUNT: 100 seeds\u003cbr\u003eThis listing is for one packet of organic Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) seeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDAYS TO GERMINATION:7-14 days\u003cbr\u003ePLANTING DEPTH:surface sow \u003cbr\u003eFROST HARDY:YES\u003cbr\u003eIDEAL TEMP.:50-90F\u003cbr\u003ePLANT SPACING:12”\u003cbr\u003eSUN REQUIREMENTS:FULL-part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart seeds indoors, barely covering the tiny seeds with soil. Keep moist until seedlings appear and plant outdoors after last spring frost. Or, direct-sow outdoors about two weeks before last frost. Cutting back after flowering period encourages a second flush of flowers. Likes moist but well-draining soil. This plant is low maintenance, vigorous, and hardy.

Non-hybrid. Non-GMO.\u003cbr\u003eAll seeds come packaged in nice, resealable bags for your convenience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDISCLAIMER:\u003cbr\u003eI have taken every measure to assure the highest germination, viability, and overall health of my seeds. All seeds are harvested from last year's summer harvest from disease-free plants. Although I test my seeds germination rates to ensure good viability, I cannot guarantee or promise germination due to the inherent risk and variability of soil quality, temperatures, growing zone, and gardening practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI care deeply about our planet and make every effort to conserve water, compost, and encourage healthy pollinators to visit my flowers. My plants are sung to, loved, and free of chemicals. Although my farm has not yet been officially organic certified, I do not use any herbicides, pesticides, etc. on my property. My herbs are skillfully grown, harvested, and dried using the traditional hanging method. I plant by nature's signs and harvest all herbs according to optimal herb potency times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe best kind of garden is a shared one.
