Lemon balm is a low-growing perennial herb with ovate- or heart-shaped leaves that emit a lemon odor when bruised. The small yellow or white flowers are attractive to bees and other insects. It is indigenous to the Mediterranean region and western Asia, and widely naturalized in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Plant the lemon balm seeds at least 12 inches apart in rows approximately 2 feet apart. The seeds are very tiny, so cover them with just a dusting of soil. The seeds should germinate in 2 to 3 weeks. Water the lemon balm seeds lightly at first, so the seeds wonât be washed away.
