Try Lemon Balm in your Garden

Try Lemon Balm in your Garden

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), also known as Bee Balm, is a particularly exciting herb for you to place in a shady spot of your garden. It’s perennial, requires little maintenance, expands through its roots, and has a great namesake fragrance. You can buy seeds, but those who already have it will usually (and perhaps gladly!) give you some clumps from their garden. Though perennial, leaves usually die in winter, only to come back with gusto in the spring! Bees love the herb so much that the name Melissa in Greek means bee, hence the alternate name of Bee Balm.
