Cultivation advice
Sowing
Lemon balm should be pre-grown. Sow the small black seeds shallowly and be careful so they don't dry. The seedlings are affected by frost, so wait to set out until the risk of frost is over.
Spacing
Keep 25-35 cm between the plants.Harvest
Harvest the shoots and leaves just before they begin to bloom for tea, herbs etc! This herb keeps its taste well after drying. Do not pick only the leaves, but the stem as well. Otherwise it will continue to grow, but without leaves.Seed
