Lemon Balm is a fragrant, bushy herb in the mint family (Lamiaceae) with soft, serrated leaves that release a bright citrus aroma when crushed. Native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia, Lemon Balm is widely cultivated for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic qualities. Bees are particularly attracted to its nectar-rich flowers, making it a beneficial plant for pollinators.
