Herb 'Lemon Balm' Plant (4" Pot)

The medieval Frankish king, Charlemagne had lemon balm planted in every monastery garden for the beauty of its crinkled and wonderfully fragrant foliage, and pretty white flowers.

Lemon balm is valued as a culinary, cosmetic and medicinal herb. Use fresh sprigs to top drinks and as garnishes on salads and main dishes. Fresh leaves give a nice lemon flavor to salads, soups, sauces and meats. The fresh or dried leaves make a great cold or hot tea, and the dried leaves can be used in potpourris. Traditionally valued as a medicinal herb, lemon balm has mild sedative properties.

Medicinal: Aerial parts used in teas for colds, flu, headache, and indigestion. Sedative. Antiviral.
