Lemon Balm Seeds

Plant information:

Melissa officinalis 

Sow: March to May
Harvest: June to November
Height: 40cm 

Most commonly grown for use in herbal teas. We like to add it to a nice hot bath – just place a handful of leaves in permeable bag, suspend from the top and let the hot water run through. Wonderfully relaxing! 

Sowing instructions: 

Sow from March onwards in cell modules. Surface sow the seed and don't cover as they need light to germinate. Pot on when the roots fill the module and plant out when risk of frost has passed.

Growing instuctions:

Lemon Balm needs little care really. Harvesting frequently will encourage the plant to bush out. Will self seed if allowed, so snip off the flowers before they set seed.

Notes:

None, currently.
