As I always maintain....it's all in the cropping! I love lemon balm too but I haven't had a lot of success with it up here for some reason.

I've had a clump or two of it anywhere that I could have a garden.<br />I was delighted on moving here three years ago to recognize several plants of lemon balm volunteering at the edge of the side lawn. Most of them have been re-homed and there are now several very healthy groups.<br />The common purple violet is also in abundance here, rampsing happily through other plantings. Most of them I leave in place. If I need to tear out a few, the rest compensate.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.com
