With a lemony fragrance and mild taste, Lemon Balm is often combined with other herbs to make teas or sachets, or to flavor poultry dishes, fish recipes, or desserts. This plant is a member of the mint family, so it spreads quickly; for that reason, you may want to grow it in a container. Plant Lemon Balm near a gate or walkway, where it will release its heavenly scent whenever you brush by.
