What do you think?
Is this lemon balm..
Or lemon mint?
Or ..both lemon mint and lemon balm are the same plant?
It looks more like lemon balm to me.
I have been looking for lemon balm for quite some time already.
So when I glanced round the nursery yesterday
and my eyes caught this,
I knew I had to bring this home!
The nursery owner said that this is lemon mint.
Please share your experience.
It is much appreciated :)
Cheers!
I call this Lemon Balm, in fact it is the same plant. Check this link out, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_officinalis

ReplyDeleteI grow it in my garden and I like tea with Melissa leaves, Ash.
I thought it is lemon balm too Nadezda. But after some research, it seems that lemon balm and lemon mint are the same plant. Melissa leaves eh..nice name :)
