information: "Lemon Balm" is easy to grow.
You can start Lemon Balm from seed, or purchase pre-started plants at
your local Garden Center or greenhouse.
If you opt to grow seed, lay them on
the surface of the soil or slightly covered to prevent the wind
from blowing them. Keep the soil moist until the Lemon Balm seed
germinates.
Uses: Aromatic,
Cosmetic, Craft, and Ornamental

Harvesting & Storage: First
season plants may be to thin to harvest. Harvest Lemon Balm just
before it blooms, cutting the plant about 3" from the surface
soil.
Hang individual Lemon Balm plants in a warm shady area. The key here is to dry the plant out
as fast as possible to preserve the fragrance.
