Lemon Balm
Never Without
This herb is simply delicious, lemony scented leaves and makes a superb green filler in bouquets. Rub the leaves between your fingers and inhale... so moreish. As well as a filler I use it in hot or cold water to make a refreshing herbal tea and best of all, add it to a cocktail or three.
A must have to grow to bulk up your bouquets. A stunning emerald green to have as a back drop in the garden. When it has slightly gone over at the end of the season, simply pull the larger leaves off and use the small leaves and tiny white flowers in your creations to prolong usage.
Sow indoors all year round in peat free compost. Seed needs light to germinate so don't cover. They can take up to three weeks to germinate. Acclimatise before planting out if sowing in spring and ensure you plant out your seedlings after all danger of frost has been. Cut back at the end of the growing season and mulch, ready for the following growing year.
Also good for use in warm or cold water to make a refreshing, herbal tea drink.
