    Sowing and Growing
    Sow lemon balm seeds inside 6 to 8 weeks before the average last frost date for your area or outside once the soil can be worked. Germination will take about 2 weeks. Keep the soil moist but not wet. The plant will need more water as it grows. Lemon balm grows to about 2 feet tall and wide. Lemon balm will go dormant through the winter season. Be sure not to overwater as this can lead to root rot.
    Harvesting
    Harvest lemon balm by picking off fresh leaves as needed or gather cut stems into bunches and hang upside down to dry. Flavor is best as the plant nears flowering and dried leaves should be used within 6 months. Store in a cool, dry space. Use coconut oil or petroleum jelly to create your own salve.
