Description

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a herbal plant معروف for its refreshing lemon fragrance and medicinal uses. It belongs to the mint family and is widely grown for herbal teas, natural remedies, and culinary purposes.

This is not a vegetable or flowering ornamental plant, but a medicinal herb, although it may produce small white flowers. It can be grown both indoors in pots and outdoors in garden beds or kiyari, making it highly versatile.

Lemon Balm thrives in full sunlight to partial shade and grows quickly with minimal care. Regular harvesting encourages bushy growth and continuous leaf production. It is perfect for home gardeners looking to grow their own fresh herbal ingredients.
