Ratings & Reviews
Lemon Balm
This is the biggest plant I've grown so far from seed. I have had my lemon balm plant for over a year now and its still doing so well. Use it heaps in my cooking and diy cleaning products as it gives them a great smell. It has a very beautiful lemon sent. One of my favourite plants in my garden.
