Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) Buddy Pack

Lemon Balm helps attract bees, is good for you and simply smells great

A welcome addition to any organic apothecary and a useful companion plant Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) has been cultivated by humans for centuries. It is exceptionally vigorous and will quickly dominate your companion herb garden, filling every corner with heart-shaped lemon-scented leaves. You should certainly consider growing Lemon Balm in pots placed around your plants and pinch off flower spikes to stop seeding and encourage vegetation.

A rambunctious perennial that enjoys cooler weather or a shady spot Lemon Balm can be used to treat insect bites, just pinch off a leaf and rub it on the wound. As a companion plant for cannabis it helps control mosquitoes and gnats while encouraging bees and other pollinators to your garden.

Lemon Balm is super easy to grow and plays well with others. It is every-plants friend in the garden so select other companion plants that like growing in similar conditions such as dill or other members of the mint family.

Lemon Balm will add a distinctive citrussy twang to the post rain petrichor pot pourri of your companion herb garden. Use it dried for lemon flavoured teas or raw in salads, particularly with fish. When the growing season is over your Lemon Balm will die back and go into hibernation over the colder months. A little bit of fertilizer loving will see your plants come booming back ready to do it all again in the spring.
