Lemon Balm was already growing in the backyard when I bought this house a little over 2 years ago.
It is very hardy and re...Read More
This plant is in a the mint family and grows with all the vigor and gusto you'd expect from a mint. The foliage makes an interesting foi...Read More
I find this plant self seeding, not spreading , so although considered invasive, it is easy to pull or transplant unwanted plants. The fr...Read More

This is my first time growing this herb, and I must say its an easy one to grow. They sat on a windowsill as seed and seedlings, and then...Read More

A former roommate planted this about 33 years or so ago. It has slowly been spreading out from the original planting in a rather shady a...Read More

I am growing this for the first time this year, but in a pot! I grew it just for the fragrant leaves- I just love to rub and sniff them. ...Read More
Negative for me at least! :) I just pulled one out of my mom's new house... It wasn't too bad yet, but my reason for pulling it was that ...Read More
I love mine, it has stayed where I planted it, not invasive, 3rd year for me! I put it in my tea, I love the aroma.
An easy to grow perennial herb that is a prodigious self-sower. Although not terribly particular as to growing conditions, ideally prefe...Read More

I have spent two days digging this plant out of our new yard and am still not done. It has obviously been here a while as the main clump...Read More
Lemon Balm makes a great addition to salad. I add fresh leaves of lemon balm, oregano, orange mint and garlic chives to leaf lettuces an...Read More
While I contain other mints in pots, I've found I don't really need to contain this one in my garden, I think because it's so dry where i...Read More
I have been trying to grow this plant for years, and not succeeding very well. Perhaps it doesn't like our long, hot and wet Southern su...Read More
