Cultivation Tips:

1. Starting Seeds: Start Lemon Balm Seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date for your region. Sow seeds in pots or trays filled with well-draining seed starting mix, covering them lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.
2. Transplanting: Transplant Lemon Balm seedlings outdoors once all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed. Choose a location with well-drained soil and either full sun or partial shade, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
3. Soil and Watering: Lemon Balm prefers rich, moist soil with good drainage. Water plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
4. Maintenance: Prune Lemon Balm plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Harvest leaves as needed for culinary or medicinal use, cutting stems just above a leaf node to promote new growth. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years to rejuvenate plants and prevent spreading.
