Melissa Officinalis
Lemon balm: Known from the Middle East and also for its healing properties. The lemon touch is delicious with salads in summer. Or, make a cup of tea with fresh leaves: a boost for people with stomach problems! Add the leaves only after boiling your water, otherwise they will turn black and lose some of their delicious flavour.
Lemon balm is quite easy to maintain. Lucky you, then. The plant loses its leaves in the winter, but grows back in the spring.
Grow lemon balm preferably in a pot or planter. This herb grows fast and rampant in open ground. This saves you a lot of pruning work!

Lemon balm is quite happy with a position in the sun, interspersed with sufficient shade.

Always keep the soil slightly moist.

Do you want this herb to last for years? Then add organic food regularly.

Give this plant a good haircut in August so that new leaves have a chance to grow.
