The name of this plant comes from melissophullon, which means “bee leaf”. Its bright green foliage with the lemony scent of lemon balm gives a fresh flavor to meats, poultry and fish, as well as fruit or vegetable salads. Easy to grow, lemon balm produces erect stems growing between 30 and 80 cm in height.
The white bell flowers that adorn the plant in summer produce nectar that bees cannot resist. It is the basis of lemon balm water which had many followers in France from the 17th century to relieve migraines and nervous discomfort. We make delicious herbal teas with calming and relaxing properties that are slightly sedative and promote sweating. It requires slightly acidic soil.
Requires cold lamination.
