“LEMON MINT” OR “LEMON BEE BALM”, A MEMBER OF THE MINT FAMILY, IS VERY EASY TO GROW FROM SEED. IT’S A FAST GROWING ANNUAL WITH LONG SPIRES OF PINKISH-PURPLE FLOWERS, WHICH BUTTERFLIES AND HUMMINGBIRDS LOVE! LEMON MINT PREFERS AN ALKALINE OR CLAY SOIL, BUT ARE VERY ADAPTABLE AS LONG AS THE SOIL IS WELL-DRAINING. THE CRUSHED LEAVES HAVE A CITRUS SMELL AND IS USED AS AN HERBAL TEA. IN WARMER CLIMATES IT WILL RE-SEED ITSELF AND YOU’LL GET ANOTHER CROP NEXT YEAR!
