Try Lemon Balm in your Garden
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), also known as Bee Balm, is a particularly exciting herb for you to place in a shady spot of your garden. It’s perennial, requires little maintenance, expands through its roots, and has a great namesake fragrance. You can buy seeds, but those who already have it will usually (and perhaps gladly!) give you some clumps from their garden.
