Lemon Balm grows into a bushy 2 - 3' plant! Plant in a large pot, or make a beautiful and fragrant side of a house where there wasn't much before and it can take some space without crowding other valued plants. Lemon Balm is from the mint family - it will spread in a garden! It makes a lovely garnish or chopped herb addition to fruit, or to savory dishes where the lemon flavor is desired. Bees love it, too!
