Lemon Balm Seeds, Melissa, Sweet Balm, Mint, NON-GMO, Heirloom, FREE SHIPPING Lemon Balm is a member of the mint family and is native to southern Europe, central Asia and the Mediterranean basin. It has a lemony scent and flavor, and the small white flowers attract honey bees. The essential oil is said to have a calming effect, and it is used in making perfumes. Culinary uses: teas, chicken, fish, pesto, fruit juices and seafood. Lemon balm can reseed somewhat aggressively – cut off spent flower stalks before they drop seed. Transplant (recommended): Sow in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Tamp the seeds lightly into the soil, as seeds require light to germinate, and mist lightly. Transplant to individual pots when the seedlings have 4 true leaves. After the last frost, transplant out, giving the plants 12" spacing.Direct seed: Direct seed in the spring or early fall, sowing about one seed per inch. Tamp the seeds lightly into the soil, as the seeds require light to germinate, and keep moist until germination occurs. It is not necessary to thin, but if desired, the seedlings can be thinned to stand up to 12" apart in rows 2' apart. Mulch if the winter goes below 0°F (-18°C). 7-14 days for germination. 70 days to full maturity. SHIPPING INFO*********** Tracking is only available for all orders $14 and above.
