Product description
Lemon Balm is grown outside in summer and all year round in greenhouses to protect the plants from the winter cold. The aromatic herb can reach up to one meter in height and can grow in plant containers in your balcony garden or inside near a sunny window.
Soaking needs to be done at least a few hours before planting, and preferably overnight. To prevent damping off when starting seeds indoors, it’s essential that you disinfect all of your plastic grow trays, seed cells, and seedling tray covers before you reuse them.
Heirloom Lemon balm is native to Southern Europe and Northern Africa, and its use dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, where the essential oils were employed for aiding digestion, and leaves were made into calming teas or tonics. Lemon balm made its way to North America in Colonial times, and today it is naturalized and cultivated in temperate regions worldwide.
