Description

A fragrant favourite for South London gardens, Lemon Balm is a lush, leafy herb bursting with fresh citrus scent. Perfect for pots, borders, or kitchen windowsills, its calming aroma makes it a natural pairing for chamomile, mint, or lavender. Loved for herbal teas, cocktails, and cooking, it’s just as welcome in an edible garden as it is in ornamental beds.
