Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) 0,2g

Lemon Balm. The leaves are used for making tea. In the second year, the plants begin to bloom. The leaves are suitable for drying as long as they are harvested before the plant blooms.

If seeds are sown indoors before planting outdoors, take the seedlings outside for a few hours each day to acclimatize them to outdoor conditions. Plant outdoors after the frosts. When sowing directly in the ground, scatter the seeds on the soil and cover only slightly with soil, as this plant requires light to germinate. Melissa does not have special soil requirements.
