Discover the plant
‘Lime’ lemon balm is an aromatic perennial highly prized for its soft green foliage with a fresh, bright, and slightly tart scent, reminiscent of lime. More unique than classic lemon balm, it brings a more vibrant citrus note to herb gardens, vegetable patches, edible containers, and pots on the patio or balcony. Its leaves can be used fresh or dried to flavor infusions, cold drinks, lemonades, desserts, fruit salads, light sauces, and summer recipes.
Easy to grow, ‘Lime’ lemon balm prefers a location with soft sun or partial shade, in fertile, fresh, and well-drained soil. It appreciates regular watering to keep its foliage tender, fragrant, and pleasant to harvest. Like many lemon balms, it can spread once established, making it an excellent plant to grow in pots or in a confined space. Regular pruning helps maintain a more compact, denser plant and promotes the production of new aromatic leaves.
Both decorative, fragrant, and very versatile, ‘Lime’ lemon balm is ideal for creating a gourmet garden with fresh and bright aromas. Its flowering attracts pollinators, while its fragrant foliage adds diversity to collections of herbs and medicinal plants. It is a perfect variety for gardeners looking for an easy, productive, and original plant, capable of bringing a touch of lime freshness to the garden and the kitchen.
