Lemon Balm, a member of the mint family, is a lovely, mild herb named for the Lemony scent of its leaves. Originally grown in South Europe, Lemon Balm is often used in combination with other herbs & is frequently found in poultry & fish dishes, desserts, & teas. It also makes a nicely scented sachet. Plant a lemon Balm plant beside a gate so that when the gate opens & closes the Lemony scent fill the air. This plant is very attractive to bees & has been used by beekeepers to Help keep bees in place. Like other types of mint, it likes to spread, so a container is a great choice.
