Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) Crown Division
Latin name: Melissa officinalis
Plant Family: Mint (Lamiaceae)
Lifespan: Perennial
Origin: Europe
Growing: When grown in rich soil with full sun, the plant can spread quickly. Plant it in partial shade if you want to curb it’s growth a bit.
Edibility: It lives up to it’s name and has a distinct lemon flavor that can be used as a food or flavoring. I use it in replacement of black or green teas when making kombucha. Try it and you won’t regret it.
Medicinal uses: Very calming and relaxing when used as a tea or tincture. It’s also one of the few antiviral mints and relieves upset stomachs.
Permaculture Uses: Great aromatic pest confuser and low maintenance food and medicinal crop. It also has a relative long flowering season and provides food and medicine during the winter months.
7 Layers Nursery cannot take any responsibility for any adverse effects from the use of plants. Always do research and seek advice from a professional before consuming and/or using a plant medicinally.
