Lemon Balm
250 Seeds
Traditionally used as a medicinal herb, lemon balm is said to have calming, sedative properties and its lemon-scented leaves are particularly popular for making a delicious, nighttime tea. We like to freeze the leaves at their peak freshness and store for later use. When we're ready to use them in tea, we just pull them out of the freezer and steep in a cup of hot water. The freezing process seems to release more flavor than you get from dried leaves, plus it's so easy. Plants grow 20 to 30 inches tall and prefer full sun to partial shade. Perennial in zones 4-9. Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.
