Lemon Balm (2026 plant starts- PREORDER)

Kick off your garden with plant starts from Chicken Little Farm. All plant starts will be timed to be ready for May Long weekend (May 16, 2026), typically in 4-inch nursery pots. Preordering will help me know how many of each variety to start, ensure that the plants you want are available, and provide a 10% discount for each plant. Pickup will be in Treherne, either on one of 2-3 set days in May or as arranged individually.

Photo and description from seed supplier:

"Plant lemon balm seeds and rub the light green leaves for a sudden hit of lemon scent. Use in bouquets to lemon scent a room or brew an invigorating medicinal tea. Lemon Balm seeds produce a herbaceous perennial self-sows and bees love it. Plants grow vigorously so keep self-sown seedlings thinned out. The plants are deer resistant, so a useful filler plant for coastal areas. Chop back the plants by two thirds once the flowers have faded to prevent self sowing and to encourage the growth of new leaves. This plant belongs in every organic herb garden and has been cultivated for centuries as a medicinal plant."
