Lemon balm

Melissa officinalis. Lemon balm is also known as common balm, balm mint, or melisse. Plant grows in clumps, up to 2-3 ft in height, in an upright spreading form. Can be planted in full sun or part shade. A herbaceous perennial, hardy to zone 4, the plant dies back to the ground every winter, only to come back in full force in the spring. Leaves are commonly used in teas or smoothies, either fresh-picked or dried for later use, but they're also the main ingredient in lemon balm pesto. Flowers attract pollinators.
