Description
Lemon balm is an evergreen perennial flowering yellow to 2 feet tall. Zones 4 to 8. This plant thrives in regular garden soil in the shade or sun. In the spring, lightly scarify seed by rubbing on fine grit sandpaper and plant in pots or directly in the garden. Sow seed on surface, barely cover with soil, then press in firmly and keep evenly moist and in the light until germination, which takes 10 to 14 days. Thin or transplant to 2 feet apart.
