REFRESHING, FRAGRANT, and with lemon-scented leaves, this is a favourite for infusions, salads, and as a garnish.
Category: Herbs
(Hardy perennial)
Refreshing and fragrant, this member of the mint family has deliciously lemon-scented leaves, with creamy white/ pale purple flowers. A favourite for infusions, salads, and as a garnish. Contains chemicals that seem to have calming and sedative properties which makes it a popular choice in aromatherapy and herbal remedies.
Planting
Plant into well-drained soil, in a sunny, sheltered position.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather. Trim flowers to stop self seeding.
Height & Spread:
60 – 90cm × 40 – 70cm.
Harvesting
Snip leaves with scissors or pinch off with fingertips. Morning is the best
time, when the essential oils are most concentrated. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth.
