Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) offers bright, citrusy scent—well suited to gentle herbal teas, summer lemonades, and herb butters. A member of the mint family, it’s hardy, spreading, and happiest in part sun to full sun with average soil.

Traditionally used to traditional calming and digestive preparations, it’s still a traditional choice for evening brews and homemade salves. Cut plants back midseason to refresh tender growth and curb wandering roots. Dry leaves quickly in shade to hold aroma.

Every order is packed with care by our small team in Pennsylvania and typically ships within 2–3 business days—often by the next business day. We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS.

Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us so we can make it right.
