Lemon Balm 9cm Pot Plants Melissa officinalis
Common names include sweet balm, bee balm and balm.
Lemon Balm is a fragrant, perennial herb with softly crinkled green leaves that release a refreshing lemon scent when touched. From June to September, it produces clusters of creamy-white flowers that attract bees and other pollinators in abundance. Traditionally used in teas, culinary dishes, and herbal remedies, lemon balm is valued for its calming and restorative properties.
Thriving in most soils and preferring a sunny or lightly shaded spot, this versatile herb is perfect for herb gardens, borders, and wildlife-friendly plantings. Its gentle spreading habit suits naturalistic schemes, allowing both its scent and pollinator benefits to enhance your garden.
Grown in the UK, our 9cm pot plants are an ideal way to enhance your wildflower meadow or establish resilient plants in your garden or areas where seed germination can be unpredictable.
For the best results, we recommend planting 3 plants per square metre, grouping at least 3 of each species together to achieve a natural, flourishing look.
