Lemon Balm Warning!
I LOVE lemon balm, but here’s the caution nobody talks about…
Don’t just plant it directly in your garden.
Lemon balm is part of the mint family and can spread FAST, taking over your garden before you know it.
To keep it under control:
Plant it in a raised bed or container
Cut off flower stalks before they go to seed
Trust me—your future self will thank you!
Do you grow lemon balm, or has it already taken over your garden?
