Any questions about lemon balm?

From the lens Lemon Balm - Cultivation and Medicinal Uses.

If you have any questions about this herb I will be happy to try to provide an answer. I created this page about lemon balm because it is a herb I grow in my garden - one that I have direct knowledge of. So feel free to ask me anything about it and if I don't know the answer I'll try to find out.

We used to grow lemon verbena but never have tried lemon balm.

I'm just now starting to learn about gardening & since I don't have a garden yet would it be ok just to plant lemon balm by itself? If so, how many plants should I plant?

You can plant lemon balm in containers, or just plant lemon balm in a corner of your yard. It will stay there and won't spread as much as peppermint does. Depending on what you plan to use it for, one or two plants would do. Within a few years it will be abundant.

Seems lemon balm grows very well and in huge quantity; which makes it an attractive plant to plant in a garden, and when such plant is in addition useful and beneficial for us, it makes it more appealing!
Thanks for this page, I'm going to look for such plant and plant it in my garden.

This lemon balm article is both beautiful and informative -- I only wish we could smell it too as the scent sounds delicious! I'll be looking out for some lemon balm now. It sounds so versatile.

I have more lemon balm plants then I know what to do with - I've been looking for new ideas to use some as I've just grown it to look at, and I love the idea of using on your furniture!

I've never heard of this plant before, but it looks so healthy and beautiful I would love to have a garden and grow one or two. It's a wonder how we can get so much from just one plant isn't it? You've done great research on it also, thankyou for the read!

I only recently started growing lemon balm in my garden as part of a new herb bed and so this is a very valuable source of information to me on all its potential uses. Thank you for sharing and for a very beautifully set out page.

I've been growing this for years, but I've never known quite what to do with it. I just like having it around the garden.
