When to Seed Lemon Balm

This perennial herb should be direct seeded into the garden in early spring or transplanted once all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Lemon Balm

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It is perennial, so keep that in mind when choosing a planting location. 

Growing Lemon Balm

Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and four to six inches apart. Once mature, thin to 12 to 18 inches apart. When established, this herb is low maintenance. 

Harvesting Lemon Balm

Lemon balm leaves can be harvested and used fresh or dried. Use sharp shears to harvest what you want, leaving at least ⅔ of the plant intact.
