One two year old plant in 4.5 inch deep pot.

Fragrant lemon flavor that is best when leaves are fresh. Wonderful added to tea or ice water. Leaves are best before the plants flower in mid-summer. Honey bees love the flowers. It is a perennial and does slowly spread in the garden, but not as intensely as mint. (I’m grateful to be named Melissa after this special plant :)
