Lemon Balm

Garden Seeds

Lemon balm is a versatile perennial herb long valued in both herb gardens and cannabis-adjacent growing spaces. Known for its bright citrus aroma and calming properties, it’s commonly grown as a companion plant and as part of traditional apothecary gardens.

In the garden, lemon balm helps attract beneficial insects while naturally discouraging pests like aphids and gnats. Its strong scent can also help soften surrounding plant aromas, which is one reason it’s frequently grown near cannabis in outdoor and mixed gardens.

Beyond the garden bed, lemon balm has a long history of use in teas, tinctures, and topical preparations. It’s often paired with cannabis or hemp-derived products for its naturally calming qualities, making it a popular supporting herb in wellness-focused gardens.

Easy to grow and quick to establish, lemon balm is a reliable choice for growers who enjoy cultivating plants with both functional and traditional value.

Planting Tips:

• Start: Direct sow or transplant
• Depth: ¼” deep
• Spacing: 12–18″ apart
• Germination: 7–14 days
• Light: Full sun to partial shade
• Soil: Well-draining soil

Very easy to grow. Lemon balm spreads readily once established and may be best grown in containers or trimmed back to manage growth.

A pollinator-friendly herb that fits naturally into companion planting systems and apothecary-style gardens.
