Lemon Balm Plants - Hardy Perennial Herb

Healthy young Lemon Balm plants, ready to transplant into your garden or patio containers. This cold-hardy perennial herb is known for its bright lemon scent, calming properties, and culinary uses. Why Grow Lemon Balm: • Perennial – it comes back every year. • Fast-growing & fragrant – great for teas, salads, baking, and herbal remedies. • Pollinator-friendly – bees love the flowers. • Low maintenance – thrives in most gardens. • Natural mosquito deterrent when brushed or crushed. How to Grow: • Light: Full sun to part shade. • Soil: Any well-draining soil. • Spacing: Plant 12–18" apart; it spreads. • Water: Keep evenly moist for the first 2–3 weeks; drought tolerant once established. • Growth habit: Bushy, aromatic, and vigorous. Care Instructions: • Trim regularly to keep it compact and encourage fresh leaves. • Harvest anytime—best flavour before flowering. • Cut back mid-summer if it gets leggy; it rebounds quickly. • Overwintering: Hardy in Ontario; mulch lightly in exposed areas. • Container-friendly: Grows beautifully in pots to control spreading.
