lemon-scented, perennial herbaceous plant in the mint family. It can grows to 10-24 inches tall.\r\n<br><br>\r\nThe name Melissa derives from the Greek word m\u00e9lissa, meaning &#8220;bee&#8221;. Bees love lemon balms. The ancient Greece planted lemon balms around temple in order to attract honey bees.\r\n<br><br>\r\nLemon balm has a wide range of uses, such as lemon balm tea, lemon balm essential oil, wine, etc.\r\n<br><br>\r\nI love the lemon-scented smell of lemon balm , since lemon balm is easy to grow, I scattered a lot of lemon balm seeds over my field for weed control. Some of them grew up, but covered by weeds quickly.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAbout 2 months ago, a friend of mine gave me some cuttings of lemon balm. I planted them to soil, so far they grow very well. Let me share the tips of lemon balm cutting propagation. Although we could propagate lemon balm cuttings anytime, but I prefer to do it in spring season. Comfortable weather, enough rain. If you can take care of the plant every day, then the propagating time is not a big deal. But if you propagate cuttings in lemon balm blooming season, new buds will grow up very slow, furthermore they may blossom flowers, turn to old stems.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fdbe0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1fdbe0b\"
